| "This
bird was based on the favorite falcon of Dubai's prince and it's
my understanding that he was very pleased with the sculpture. It
was commissioned by ArtWorks LLC in Dubai to be produced 6 feet
wide, as well as this size, in fiberglass multiples, painted on
by local artists and auctioned off to benefit charities in Dubai.
Birds of prey have always fascinated me, perhaps for the same reason
that the felines have. Their beauty, softness and graceful movements
are superimposed upon the power and cunning of the quintessential
predator. I find this dichotomy captivating and mysterious and it
is all of these qualities that this sculpture portrays." -
