Crested Crane
by David Basasira of Uganda
Collage and Assemblage
The crested crane is a bird which was chosen as a symbol on our coat of arms. This bird bears all the colors, i.e. red, black, yellow. and white found on our national flag. It is a peaceful bird with long legs and of course with some weight. The head has striped lines.
Because of their features, I was inspired to produce this bird in abstract with high use of lines symbolizing movement since this bird is standing on one leg and appears as if it is taking a step to move forward.
