I chose the street pigeon as my subject, as it is one of the most mundane creatures I can think of: city-objects that not many people seem to have any particular opinion or feeling about (apart from the occasional nuisance) as we do about pretty much any other animal. It is for this reason I want to elevate this non-magical bird into a mystical creature, merely by suggestion through symbolism and surrealism. As such, it is also an exploration in what happens when we take context away in design and let the audience fill in the gaps with their own imagination.
