Monique Habraken took the feathers of a dead duck and put them together on a canvas. This tapestry brings to mind the ducks whose sympathetic quack is to be heard all over the Dutch landscape, in the water, on the ground and flying through the skies. Her attempt to revive the duck by using his feathers, put in a dynamic pattern on the canvas has been displayed during the Dutch Design Week 2011 in Eindhoven.
