Message
"Crackle Crow" portrays a clever, vigilant crow symbolizing intelligence and mischief. The artwork's base features a chaotic network of cracks, symbolizing randomness, decay, and ageing. Contrasting with this natural disarray are two bold, red horizontal lines, representing humanity's attempt to control nature and its potentially destructive outcomes. The red evokes emotions like love, anger, and vibrance, highlighting the work's thematic contradictions. Crafted from Baltic Birch, this piece is illuminated by LED lights.
