Chukar Chandeliers by Yeni Mao



Having this chandelier in your home will definitely make a statement.

Chukar Chandelier illustrates the story of desire surrounding the Indian myth of the chukar, a bird to South Asia and the national bird of Pakistan, which is said to be in love with the moon and to gaze at it continuously. For this stunning chandelier, 110 brilliant chukar skulls are arranged in hanging flock formation. At once elegant and macabre, these bronze skulls plated in 14-karat gold provide an allegory for the loss and disconnection experienced in human immigrations, a central theme to Mao's work that addresses the complications of cultural hybridization, correlating human social behavior and functions of natural systems.VIA Artware
