These wing studies within the Purification series aesthetically recall the tradition of Renaissance anatomical drawings and the scientific engravings of the 17th and 18th centuries, where bird wings and other body parts were analyzed and reproduced with obsessive precision. The artist symbolically dialogues with that tradition, where the fragmented representation of the bird evokes immobility and violence. The choice of the Priotelus temnurus—Cuba’s national and endemic bird—is deeply significant.
