The artist chose to work inside the historic aviary, transforming it from a confining structure for birds into a temporary refuge where they can eat and rest before taking flight once again. The thick vegetation already growing inside the cage was enriched by Folon’s large bronze tree with seven arms, whose cupped hands offer food and water to the birds. The dark-colored tree is offset by the shining golden fruits that hang along its boughs, which become bright points of light that subtly highlight the fertile character of the piece.
