It is easier to beget than to raise a child, as Georg Büchner once so fittingly remarked. This also applies to owl babies, since it will likely take some time before this young example will be able to serve as a symbol of wisdom – for now, it appears rather awkward and clumsy. But the goal is obvious: one day, it too will sit on a branch, calmly gazing about, and giving thought to the course of the world.

Edition in bronze, cast using the lost wax technique, chased and patinated by hand.
