This is my final version, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. Both swans and ice skaters appear graceful from a distance, but up close they reveal their power and potential for harm. Swans use their serrated beaks and sharp claws to defend themselves, much like the blade of an ice skate. My connection to this theme comes from volunteering every summer at a bird rescue with my dad, where I’ve cared for sick and injured birds- including six swans. In winter, when the pond freezes over, I’m reminded of their strength and resilience.
This is such an amazing concept! I really love how it turned out and the connections you were able to make with the swan and your appliance. I also like how you have a personal connection with the piece, great job!
