fledfeling
A young, untamed, curious bird takes flight into the world.
A world where meadows full of beautiful flowers and fields dotted
with endless golden ears of grain open before it. It is a world
without boundaries, because birds know no limits.
Fly, little birds, fly.
The bird symbol is one of the most common animal motifs in folk art, admired for its remarkable and almost supernatural qualities. With its wings, it can swiftly lift off the ground, soar to heavenly heights, chase the sun, and float freely above the earth. Traditionally, birds were seen as messengers between heaven and earth. Bird motifs were often used in rituals or on love-related objects.
Among plants, cereal crops held special significance, forming the basis of the Slavs’ diet. Stalks with two or more ears were saved for future sowing as a guarantee of a good harvest. The Slavs also used medicinal plants for healing, which is why floral motifs are most commonly embroidered. For the Vtáča collection, inspiration was drawn from the beautiful wall paintings of the Vajnory ornament, where birds, cereals, and flowers were the central motifs.
