Bird 2
2008
A towering figurative sculpture by Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz, *Bird 2* combines rough-hewn wood, steel, burlap, and resin to evoke a sense of primal, organic power. The work reflects Abakanowicz's signature exploration of the human and natural form, with coarse textures and raw materials suggesting both vulnerability and resilience. The piece embodies her recurring themes of collective identity and the relationship between the individual body and the forces of nature.
