The figure of the scarecrow, traditionally associated with crop protection, is transformed here into a symbol of connection between humans and nature. The crows, birds that often represent wisdom and death, add a layer of complexity to the work, suggesting a duality between life and death, protection and vulnerability. The choice of patinated bronze reinforces this relationship, evoking the idea of the ephemeral and the enduring in art.
The work presents a central figure of a humanoid scarecrow, with an upright posture and extended arms, holding crows in each hand. The texture of the patinated bronze provides an intriguing visual effect, while the hood and worn clothing suggest a link with nature and the passage of time.
