Description
Usually I think the word "empty" is kind of depressing, but in this case, "Empty Cages" is just the opposite. It's downright hopeful, optimistic, and joy-filled and it sings of freedom. In this conceptual piece we see a brightly colored building impossibly reflected in its own windows, a beautiful cloud-filled sky behind, and the silhouettes of a small flock of birds that have just escaped and are flying into the blue beyond. In one of the uppermost panes of the building we see one last bird which has yet to escape its bonds.
