Description

This piece stands at the outside of PAO hall. It represents a face made from brick and carved and placed to see the whole picture. Inside the piece there is an audio playing of bird calls that has importance to the piece. Not only does it create ambiance, but it has the intention in mind that birds will stray away from the piece. It is made to ward off any birds due to the audio that plays consistently throughout the day. The piece stands a bit taller than the average person. It is a defining feature of PAO. At the bottom stands a circulate base made of stone. Two sit outside the building outside a courtyard that leads into the main entrance of the building.
