The picture depicts a man in a window and a raven sitting on the ledge looking as though he has flown in from the right. Upon finding the picture of the bird I immediately thought of Edgar Allen Poe and a reincarnation as a raven . What would the irony be if Edgar Allen Poe was reincarnated as the raven from his story ? So I put “Edgar” in a window of an old building and made him a ghostly reflection of himself as a past form of his life. Then in present day I put a raven on the window ledge. The feathers represent the flippancy of life and how easily it can float away .
