This work is made from the outer part of the trunk of an ancient, desiccated oak tree. The tree's radius has enabled the creation of slices that mimic the "wings" in flight, and a candle placed between them at the center symbolizes the "radiating light" of the human soul, soaring towards the heavens. The wood's surface has been treated with wax and gilding.
