Three birds perched atop a bowl, pausing for rest during their flight, quenching their thirst, and chirping with joy at the dawn of a new day. This serene work was inspired by the birds that flourish in the gardens and woodland surrounding the artist's home in Switzerland. Harumi seeks to evoke the wonder and delight that emanates from these small creatures as they welcome the morning and fill the air with song.

The artist has spent many early hours of the day alongside these birds; and her sensitive rendering of their physicality is a testament to her careful observation, with their slightly cocked heads indicating their alert and curious nature, and the gentle contouring of their bodies suggesting the powerful wings that lie folded and ready for flight.
