I have been playing around with ideas of power and powerlessness. I started with the idea of the power that is conferred with taking on attributes of animals... like shamanic ideas of taking on the "power" of an animal or like egyptian gods. However though humanity aspires to godhood we are ill-formed and like Icarus we fail. Thus, these statues have wings that are partly formed, no arms or arms but a hump on their backs or only one wing and one arm. This is the first version. Watch out for more.
