A SYMBOLIC JOURNEY OF RESILIENCE AND REUNION CAPTURED IN TWO CORMORANTS ON BRUSHED GOLD COLOURED METAL. EMBRACE THE ESSENCE OF HANGING ON II GOLD FOR AN ALTERNATIVE TOUCH OF HOPE AND ENDURANCE.

HANGING ON II GOLD unfolds a narrative beyond the apparent spectacle of two Cormorants clinging to the branches of a weathered tree—a tale steeped in history and layered with symbolic significance. Cormorants, regarded as omens of prosperity by fishermen, carry an ancient legacy of being harbingers of good fortune and plentiful catches. Moreover, these birds have long served as symbols of familial bonds, unity, and nurturing, infusing my Bigger Picture series with profound symbolic importance across six captivating images.

The inception of the Hanging On mini-series in 2022 reflects a collective sentiment of enduring the tumultuous global events that had upended our lives. As we navigated a landscape of uncertainties, the series became a poignant expression of resilience. In Hanging On II, the presence of two birds signifies the palpable relief we experienced when communities were allowed to reunite. More than just avian subjects, they embody the collective yearning for connection—more company, more community, and enhanced collaboration.

This edition takes a cheeky twist with Hanging On II Gold, presented on a canvas of gold-coloured brushed metal. As a nod to the times, it playfully intertwines the symbolism of perseverance with the contemporary chatter about investing in precious metals. For those inclined toward a silver lining, Hanging On II Silver is also available printed on silver-coloured brushed metal, it offers an alternative embodiment of hope and endurance

Hanging On II Gold is available both with the birds pointing to the right and pointing to the left. The pair of pictures hanging together making a stunning and eye-catching combination, to fill a large wall space in true style. Sizes of each framed print are available to suit your needs, up to 120 x 120 cm. Samples can be ordered, size: 10 x 10 cm.
