我在飛翔 我看到了遠方---
鳥類一直是人類文化的一部分。也是人們的主要靈感來源，尤其是藝術家將牠們描繪在無數的繪畫中，是詩歌和音樂的主題。畢卡索著名的一隻鴿子現在被世界公認為和平的象徵；柴可夫斯基的天鵝湖也是著名的例子。
畢卡索的第一個和平之鴿，被選為1949年在巴黎舉行的第一次國際和平會議的標誌。
鳥類具有很高的象徵意義和精神意義。戰爭的羽毛帽子以前是美洲印第安人最著名的頭飾。此外，斯威士蘭的國王和傳統的馬賽人穿著turaco羽毛作為力量的表現。從古埃及時代起，鳥就出現在許多文化的神話中。例如，古希臘女神雅典娜有一隻小貓頭鷹作為她的象徵，而在印度，孔雀則代表大地母親。鳥常常被視為符號，無論是帶來厄運還是死亡，或是神聖的還是用於紋章。鳥類總以各種藝術形式出現，包括繪畫，雕塑，詩歌和散文，電影和時尚。
在非洲部落裡，牠們始終飛翔於之間，守護著遠方的一切... 來自西非的象牙海岸的Senufo族創造鳥形象面具和雕塑作為符號，以確保他們的村莊生活的連續性並說明了傳統的範圍和力量。尤其犀鳥又稱高貴的鳥是Senufo神話創始。這些鳥形人物在長時間的舞蹈和慶典中最初都戴在頭上。雕像以它們的長喙鉤接觸突出的肚子表示生育，是生命的載體和連續性的後代符號。
非洲人們和鳥類之間也存在很緊密的文化聯繫。預言鳥的通用形象同等於龍在東方國家裡象徵。人們相信鳥有與生俱來的能力，可看穿過去和預知未來，一個象徵著智慧，一個象徵著王權，都存在著絕對的權威性。幾個世紀以來，非洲人一直在使用鳥類，不僅僅是為了食物和裝飾的目的，而是為了治療疾病，幫助他們處理困難和經常無法解釋的心理或精神事務。鳥類已經被用來治療身體和精神疾病，加強關係，鼓勵祝福，幫助促進尊嚴，加強個人，使他們免受邪惡的傷害。因此常可以在椅凳、面具、雕像...等作品中看到，有些具體、半抽象、華麗、簡約，並具象徵性的預言鳥作品。
在現代，來自遠方的預言... 預言鳥寧靜優雅的姿態，強烈地感受到它的溫暖也隱約流露獨特的氣質，搭配在現代空間裡渲染出活潑優雅的視覺畫面。
Birds have always been a part of human culture and a major source of inspiration, particularly for artists who have depicted them in countless paintings. Birds are also common themes in poetry and music. Picasso's famous dove is now universally recognized as a symbol of peace, and Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake is another well-known example. Picasso's first peace dove was chosen as the symbol for the first International Peace Conference in Paris in 1949. Birds carry significant symbolic and spiritual meaning. For example, the feathered hats worn by Native American tribes were once a prominent headdress, symbolizing power. In addition, the King of Swaziland and the traditional Maasai people wore turaco feathers to symbolize strength.
Since the time of Ancient Egypt, birds have appeared in the myths of many cultures. For instance, the Greek goddess Athena had a small owl as her symbol, while in India, the peacock represented Mother Earth. Birds are often seen as symbols, whether they bring bad luck, death, or are revered as sacred and used in heraldry. Birds have appeared in various forms of art, including painting, sculpture, poetry, prose, film, and fashion. In African tribes, birds have always soared between realms, guarding everything in the distance.
In West Africa, the Senufo people from the Ivory Coast created bird-shaped masks and sculptures as symbols to ensure the continuity of village life and to represent the power and scope of tradition. The hornbill, also known as the noble bird, is at the core of Senufo mythology. These bird-like figures were initially worn on the head during long dances and celebrations. The statues, with their long beaks and protruding bellies, symbolize fertility and are seen as carriers of life and continuity.
There is a deep cultural connection between Africans and birds. The universal image of the prophetic bird is comparable to the dragon in Eastern countries. People believe that birds possess an innate ability to see into the past and predict the future, symbolizing wisdom and royalty, and embodying absolute authority. For centuries, Africans have used birds not only for food and decoration but also for healing, to help navigate difficulties, and to address often unexplained psychological or spiritual matters. Birds have been used to treat physical and mental ailments, strengthen relationships, encourage blessings, promote dignity, empower individuals, and protect them from evil.
Therefore, prophetic bird motifs often appear in artworks such as stools, masks, and sculptures. These works can be concrete, semi-abstract, ornate, minimalist, and symbolic. In the modern world, the prophetic bird still carries its essence. Its serene and elegant posture strongly evokes warmth and subtly reveals a unique aura. When paired with contemporary spaces, these prophetic birds create a vibrant and graceful visual impression, blending the past and present seamlessly.
