Ascot: Pelican

The Ascot series features a cast of expressive birds, each striking a pose with confident flair and aristocratic grace. Inspired by the fashion and spectacle of the Royal Ascot, these characters channel the opulence, ceremony, and theatrical elegance of a bygone era.

With their elongated forms, extravagant plumage, and refined presence, these birds lighten the mood while embodying high-style sophistication — part satire, part celebration of nobility in nature.

This snow white pelican is normally accustomed to gliding in squadron formation along the southern and western coasts in graceful echo of the waves. But on this occasion, she has donned a regal tiara for this white tie affair.
