“On Edge” symbolizes a falcon with its powerful and majestic presence that commands awe, the unmistakable symbol of human endeavor, glorious victories, and the loftiness of royal dignity. The falcon, the king of all birds, was considered the favorite of the all-seeing god Horus, whose all-seeing eye penetrated the world with a sharp, penetrating gaze. This all-seeing eye, encompassing both physical observation and deeper spiritual insights, invites people to broaden their horizons, attain higher levels of consciousness, and enhance their pursuit of wisdom and meaning.
The concept of “On Edge” acquires an enriching dimension in the light of falcon symbolism. The state of readiness and heightened awareness mirrored in the falcon, which observes the world around with keen attention. This vigilance, borrowed from the falcon, encourages us to sharpen our senses, deepen our perception, and become aware of the nuances and beauty present everywhere. By viewing the world with a sharp, all-seeing eye, we are invited to embark on our personal journey of growth and consciousness, inspired by the tireless spirit of the majestic falcon. A true work of art by Michel van den Born with profound mythical significance.
