Murmuration

Comissioned by the Ajaz Foundation for SHiFT - a charity who works with vulnerable children and young people at risk of cycles of harm where things are getting worse, not better and would benefit most from an intensive, therapeutic relationship..

“This powerful illustration evokes a sense of peace and serenity, a beautiful starling murmuration flies high above two figures on the ground. The lower figure symbolises SHiFT itself, empowering the other figure to reach upwards towards a bright and boundless future - represented by the sun, while experiencing the euphoria of freedom.” Ajaz Foundation
