My Birdcage

Since I'm a fat giant in Thailand sizing, I ended up not buying any clothes while I was there. What I did buy however was this beautiful little necklace I found while wandering through one of the multi-story "mega-markets". When I first laid my eyes on it, I loved it but, in my current situation, I wasn't in the mood for spending money on things that may just end up as unused trinkets. Two floors down later, I had to go back up and get it. 


It's concept is simple, a bird sitting on it's perch in a cage. Although the design as such is pretty enough, what really caught me was that the door to the cage was open. A bird perched inside the cage had its choice of choosing to spread its wings and fly out or stay inside the cage (or maybe even return and come and go whenever it chose to do so). I loved it. I thought it was somewhat apt also.


If you want to go darker, you may notice that the cage also has no bottom. I guess the bird may also fall off it's perch and fall to it's doom without ever spreading it's wings.  For some reason, that just adds to my love of this piece...
