“Intertwined”
The sparrow is often a symbol of friendship, love, and teamwork- all values of a strong marriage. They are a common, humble and unassuming; not flamboyant or ostentatious. The birds are resilient, hard working, and adaptable to many environments. In this design, they work both as pairs and as a community bound together by a rhythmic ribbon. The floral theme is both an element of nature, and an intentional depiction of the intricate lacework found in traditional wedding dresses. This motif was borrowed directly from one of the gowns found in this very shop. It provides the viewer with a sense of delicate movement throughout the design. Combined with the ribbon, it circulates the viewer’s eye around the composition. The central arch in this design provides support and balance to the largely symmetrical composition. Historically, the stone arch had a keystone which holds everything in place. Here, we see a birdhouse in that position. The home for the sparrows provides the strength to this structure. With its peaked roof and prominent position, the archway resembles a large ring thereby further reinforcing the traditional symbol of unity.
