The series, consisting of a taxidermy chick suspended by a balloon within a bell jar, preserves a moment between death and decay and makes poignant reference to the bird as still birth. The work presents a further contradiction: the balloon to which the chick is tethered rises only so far as the glass dome will allow and is itself fettered by the glass. Each bird has different markings and the balloons come in a choice of four colours: red, yellow, purple and black.
