The falcon, a symbol of power and protection, was seen in North American indigenous cultures as a messenger between the spiritual and earthly realms. This majestic bird reminds us of three essential lessons.

First, purposefulness and determination, akin to the falcon unwaveringly homing in on its prey. Second, the freedom to navigate life with agility, much like the falcon cleaving through the air. Third, courageous perseverance in the face of challenges.
This artwork, created by Michel van den Born, embraces this symbolism of strength and determination, offering a timeless reminder of the meaningful message of the falcon.

"On Edge" symbolizes a falcon with its powerful and majestic presence that commands awe, the unmistakable symbol of human endeavor, glorious victories, and the loftiness of royal dignity. The falcon, the king of all birds, was considered the favorite of the all-seeing god Horus, whose all-seeing eye penetrated the world with a sharp, penetrating gaze. This all-seeing eye, encompassing both physical observation and deeper spiritual insights, invites people to broaden their horizons, attain higher levels of consciousness, and enhance their pursuit of wisdom and meaning.
