Meet Sven

I saw the magnificent rooster Sven just minutes before his life came to an end. A transmission from a thriving animal to a material in the blink of an eye.

This material seduced me instantly. The colors were just amazing. The challenge was to avoid common esthetics like feather boa and glamor. I decided to place the feathers from Svens neck on a human neck. A new body for Sven.
