The Dickin medal of honor, was awarded to 34 pigeons who played an important role in the two world wars. Locket is a piece (inspired by the Dickin medal) made from birdseed where light shone through a negative image of a pigeon. It is meant to show the relationship between birds and their owners; their sense of loyalty and devotion. Seeds are placed where the inverted bird’s heart is.
