Graciela Iturbide - Birds

Birds have long been used as a metaphor for messengers of the spirit, a fitting association for a creature that exists so comfortably between the earth and the heavens. Under the gaze of one of Mexico's greatest photographers, they acquire an added mystery, heightened by constant reminders of their fragility. Iturbide's magnificent work is firmly rooted in the world around us and tinged with the fantastical spirituality of a Latin American vision.
