Ernesto Solana, Gazing the Edge, 2025
Female American kestrel in bronze, leather falconry hood, wood, iron base.
50 × 11.75 × 11.75 inches

A female bronze American kestrel, hooded and perched on a wooden post, sits in a state of suspended potential. The falconry hood, both tool and symbol, suggests restraint—instinct held in check, vision denied. Gazing the Edge contemplates the boundaries between control and autonomy, wildness and domestication. The sculpture becomes a meditation on power, perception, and the unseen territories just beyond our reach, where freedom remains imagined but withheld.
