Original artwork description:

A NOTE: The painting is currently in the USA and will be shipped from Florida.

According to legend, the ibis is the last sign of wildlife to take shelter before a hurricane hits and the first to reappear once the storm has passed.
The ibis predominantly symbolizes the human soul. It is connected with the afterlife, transit between the worlds of the dead and the living, and purity. Because the ibis raises its young in colonies, this bird is also associated with socialization and cooperation.
From sacred mummies, the ibis has played several fascinating roles in human cultures throughout its vast history as a species. Perhaps the unique appearance of this bird has inspired so much story-telling, art, and religion. It seems that this bird has a unique sense of wisdom and mystery, mischief and magic that has been igniting human creativity since ancient times.
