Eurasian Hoopoe (Upupa epops)

My latest work has followed a curiosity about nature’s forms and how they fit into its geometry. In this exploration, I delved into the distinctive hoopoe, relative of the ibis, found in physical and cultural landscapes and mythologies throughout the world. More below...

    Eurasian Hoopoe (Upupa epops)

    Perhaps in part due to their unique behaviours and characteristics, hoopoes have carried deep mythological significance for eons. Considered in many cultures to be the most royal of birds, they have been symbolic of hereditary power and succession in the Middle East and their depictions can be found lining tombs of temples of ancient Egypt, alongside ibis, night herons and blooming papyrus flowers...

    It is a fascinating bird and cultural symbol and its majestic crest fits perfectly into a blooming flower of life pattern. I love how once we start looking, we can find endless connections between the forms of life and the structure of the underlying patterns of the universe.
