Havina

The works in the textile art exhibition Havina are a testament to our love for birds. Both those we encounter every day and those whose numbers have become alarmingly low. Variegated and less colorful – big and small.

The more you examine the details of their plumage and learn about their species-specific behavior, the deeper your appreciation for these fascinating and enchantingly beautiful winged creatures grows.
