YARI

YARI 🪶

With raised wings, an egret prepares to spear its prey in the final moments of sunset.

Yari means "spear" in Japanese.

Like a posed art piece, an egret spreads its wings like a shield, creating the illusion of an almost warrior-like state. His movement is still, his eye is focused, and the moment remains forever frozen, telling of the drama to follow. It's typical of Japanese-like art and stylism, especially with the pink and golden hues of sunset and the momentary pose of the subject. The Egret has a place in this ancient story-telling, with the Ukiyo-e or ukiyo style illustration based on a fowl-like bird from Japanese mythology with its wings spread. Like similar fowl, these birds create movements or poses that remind us so much of the importance and beauty of life, even amongst our feathered friends.

Welcome to our feathered friends, with their flights of fancy, twitchers' delight, and the lightest touch.

Ever-present in our lives, birds fill the skies, settle in tree branches, and thrive on the ground. Their movements fill us with delight and awe; their silence is broken by delightful songs or anxious craws. This collection celebrates these moments in time with our feathered friends.
