About Where The New Life Will Begin (Nest)

Spring’s beauty unfolds as new nests grace the trees, a vital haven for each bird seeking the perfect spot for their precious new generation. This frame encapsulates the essence of this fresh spring beginning. A lovingly crafted, handmade nest and three distinct glass eggs complement each other on the eucalyptus twig.

The arrangement includes a copper twig and leaves, combined with drawing elements. Every element of this artwork is uniquely crafted by me, infusing it with a beauty found in native nature during this fresh spring start.
