This is Sculpture 62 by the artist Ayad Alaqaragholli, from Iraq.

 

The artist says: "Ravens appear in myth and scripture worldwide, even as the first bird mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, where they symbolise divine care and grace. And the raven , of-course, was a pivotal character in Edgar Allan Poe's mysterious poem 'The Raven' (1845). The chair represents the place of human dwelling, a universal place of where life is lived."

 

Here at Bondi, the raven is accompanied by Miguel from Brazil.
