”I think this spirit nails the essence of the hawk for me. Firstly, the mask is a perfect abstraction of the hawk’s facial features. The sharp point reminds of the hawk’s razor-sharp beak. The eyes are represented because of the hawk’s excellent vision. Secondly, the undulating neck emerging from the mask give the impression of spread wings. Most of the hawks I have seen have been in flight. Coasting around and around across the country sky. Lastly, the colors in the background remind one of sunrise or sunset. The coming sun connects with the hawk being a solar animal. I would only change the hawk’s pose. A hawk is much more dynamic from the side or angle.”
