Designed specifically for its site within a quarry and mindful of the habitat of the kestrel, a prevalent species in the park, this artwork is a tribute to the natural surroundings.
The kestrel, a medium-sized falcon characterized by its distinctive features — a short, curved beak, long, sickle-shaped wings, and a striking plumage of reddish-brown and grey hues — holds a special significance in the ecosystem.
With its invaluable role as a helper for local farmers, the kestrel serves as both muse and symbol in this captivating mural.
