The wings of an angel, the wings of Icarus? Wings, in almost all cultures, represent lightness, spirituality, the ability to fly and soar into the sky. Aspiration of the soul to the superindividual state, transcendence of the human condition, but also imagination, thought, freedom and victory. But we are presented with a pair of severed wings, we do not know who they belong to, but we feel that they belong to someone who has lost happiness, who has failed and can no longer fly. Flying from the nest for a bird is also the possibility of failure, for an immigrant it is the same, he can end up without wings and all his dreams shattered. The format helps to add a dramatic dimension to the subject and the casual pictorial treatment as well as the industrial material add freshness to this still life.
