The message behind the design:
Flamingos are often seen walking on their long legs. In reality, they are migratory birds that move from one lagoon to another, often covering many kilometers a day depending on food availability and safety conditions. This makes them strong and resilient fliers, capable of covering long distances at high speed.
In Emilia-Romagna, the region I come from in northern Italy, flamingos often feed in the salt pans of Cervia, along the Adriatic Sea. From there, they take flight to reach the Comacchio Valleys, where they find rest. These two places are about 50 kilometers apart, a distance that flamingos can easily cover in under an hour thanks to their remarkable flying abilities.
The vivid color of their feathers, on the other hand, comes from their diet, which is rich in carotenoids found in algae and small crustaceans. This color can even change over time.
I like to reflect on this flexible and adaptive behavior, which is not only key to their survival but also a form of freedom — the freedom to stay or to leave, whenever necessary or simply when they choose to.
That’s why I decided to illustrate a flamingo in flight. It’s a less common image, but one that reminds us that movement is part of their nature, and it’s also their strength.
