Wrapped in a cocoon of leafy wings, a sleepy owl, based on a barn owl, is dreaming. It dreams of other worlds, of mended hearts, of a land where death doesn’t touch any of the people or things we love. 

Made in collaboration with Aaron Horkey. 

Owl:

Owls are nocturnal birds of prey that rule over the night. Gifted with the ability to traverse the dark via both a keen sense of hearing/seeing and with soft tail edges that make them undetectable to their prey, they are excellent hunters. Many owls live mostly in solitude, roosting and hunting alone. Because of their ability to expertly navigate in darkness, they are thought to be connected to the unseen world of spirits and magic. Due to this association, they are considered messengers between worlds, silently slipping back and forth. 

Due to its stealth while hunting, the Owl is often seen as a symbol of death, marking it as a protectionary being. Seen with Goddesses of lore such as Athena and Hecate, the Owl is also been known to be companions of shamans who call on their powers to connect to Spirits and the Spirit World. Its intelligence whilst hunting have lent to the saying ‘Wise as an Owl.’
