An imagined scene of the last of the New Zealand native birds migrating across a vast sky to find a new home. Our birds are leaving and they're taking their luggage and caravan. Birds shown are: Kea, Heron, Tern, Albatross and Parakeet. The threat of loss is portrayed by the eternal, horizonless sky with no landing place (none that is depicted) but with a hope for the future in the majestically coloured clouds - a dream state, a whimsy but also an aspiration for a better life.
