Title: A Lovely Murder

Year: 2014

Artist: VanTsa and Bumzigana, Lompoc, Ca

Location: 223 W Chestnut Ave, Lompoc, CA

Description: A group of Crows is referred to as a Murder of Crows. Ms. Murders’ hair flows and morphs into the Heart shaped tree as there are heart shaped leafs scattered about and crows flying out of Ms. Murders’ hair and perched on the tree. Ms.Murder, tree elements, Murder of Crows and love are as one.

Meaning: The Crow is an omen of change and/or a resurrection of life. Crows live in the void and have no sense of time, therefore being able to see past, present and future simultaneously. They unite both the light and the dark, both the inner and the outer.

All of thee above also apply to LOVE…LOVE Transcends ALL. Love is void of Time, Love is in the Past, Present and Future. Love can evoke the light and the dark from a person. Love can bury and it can also resurrect…’A Lovely Murder’
