Going back to childhood, many people may recall the excitement of finding a feather on the ground. It was a magical moment and it seemed that the feather was a gift from above.

People may not realize but various cultures around the world also believed that feathers had a connection to the heavens. Some believed that they carried messages from the gods.

Stumbling upon a feather is believed to be a good omen, a sign that you are on the right path. It is a message to soar above where you are spiritually and to look at the world from a higher perspective.

This mosaic feather was created with that in-mind, to be a good omen for the passerby’s. It aims to be an uplifting landmark and to delight visitors and residents a like, to provide a sensory experience of whimsical patterns, a warm welcoming color palette and a spiritual connection to its location.
