Birds’ nests have always fascinated me, especially the ones that are intricately built, and strongly enough constructed to survive being blown from a tree down to the ground and still be intact. But it was another artist’s work that started to make me look at nests in a symbolic manner, after which I certainly couldn’t go back. So nests of course represent home, and a sense of security, but for me also point to heaven, a believer’s final home and ultimate security.
“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going.” John 14:1-4
