Description A soaring bird and a boulder
Caption "(Bird) comprises two elements: A metal bird soaring from a 12-ton mass of natural basalt rock. As the sculpture is built from latticed stainless steel bars, it does not obscure the view and merges with the environment. The basalt stone symbolizes the ancient, a starting point and flight symbolizes the first condition for the evolution of science.”
From the publication: “Technion Trail - Tour of Campus Sculptures”.

The label for the sculpture has the title "Bird" and the publication "Tour of Campus Sculptures" has the title "Vision" for the same sculpture.
