Ana Hercigonja Gutschy, fascinated by the raven’s appearance, thematizes it in the contemporary context of general events, pandemics, uncertainty, fear, reminders of mortality and vulnerability, as a bird with human gestures. Its stylized raven made of black smooth plates cut into triangles of different sizes is grounded like a bird, does not fly, stands on the ground in a position to fight the invisible enemy, screams (open beak in a dislocated position – the beak is accentuated with glitter) and cries for its own existence and nature. The shape is solid and does not suggest the possibility of an imminent raven flight.
