The wind has long been compared to human fate, tossing us hither and yon, usually against our will. In this collage the tree is the victim of the wind, pitifully losing all its leaves as two hummingbirds watch. In comparison these birds are remarkably still, hovering in mid air with wings un-blurred by motion. Hummingbirds learned to master the breeze. Though they have tiny hurricanes attached to their shoulders they act as if unaware of their supernatural powers. Are hummingbirds the only animals to have conquered fate by learning to control it the way their wings control wind itself?
This collage is a visualization of Beethoven's bagatelle opus 33, #1 in E flat, part of the Little Nothings series of all seven of these short piano pieces.
This listing is for a fine art print on archival matte paper. The print continues to the edges with no border and ships rolled from my print on demand company. To flatten, place a heavy book on top for a day or two. Please choose your size below, either 8, 10, or 12 inches.
