From the artist:

Eagle Eye: This highly detailed graphite drawing features a collage of eagles that symbolize resilience and independence. The name "bald eagle" can be misleading; it comes from the old English word "piebald," referring to its striking white and dark brown feathers. With its bright white head and tail against a rich brown body, the bald eagle represents strength and beauty in North America. Its unique features, such as its bright white head and tail, set it apart from other birds.

These birds thrive in various environments, including coastal areas, lakes, and rivers, favoring places abundant in fish. They often nest in tall trees or on cliffs, creating large nests that can weigh up to a ton and can glide gracefully with a wingspan of up to seven feet.

For Native American tribes, the bald eagle, or waŋblí, holds profound cultural and spiritual significance. It symbolizes strength, bravery, and holiness, serving as a messenger between people and the divine. The eagle's feathers are valued in ceremonies that connect the spiritual world with nature, reflecting a deep respect for the natural world. The bald eagle is both a national symbol and a powerful reminder of the spiritual connection between people and nature.

The bald eagle has proudly served as the national emblem of the United States since 1782, embodying the spirit of exploration, freedom, and adventure that defines the American identity. Its role as a national symbol underscores its cultural significance and the values it represents.
