Ghost Owls
The bronze sculptures titled “Ghost Owl” also known as the Western Barn Owl were inspired by their ghostly white appearance, as they silently fly through the night sky. Their Spine-chilling shrieks and habit of roosting in abandoned buildings, has earned the nickname ‘ghost owl’. This mystical creature is the most widely distributed bird species in the world. Superstitions are deeply rooted in folklore, passed from generation to generation.*
