I was travelling for a few weeks, and when I visited Sonsbeek towards the end of spring, I noticed the male swan was no where to be found. I waited for weeks, even contacted a few places for help. It's been several months now, and no one seems to know where he has gone, and that has been a difficult feeling to deal with. In the meantime, the female swan grew a bit isolated. Regardless, I'd always wave to her. Eventually, whilst I was sitting on one of the benches near her, she made a soft little sound at me, for the first time, and peacefully sat down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI wish I knew what happened to the other swan, but I suppose that's just the way life goes. I still stop by and say hello to her, and she still makes the amicable little sound, but of course, I won't ever really know whether she is alright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll artworks are signed and dated on the back of the canvas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdding this artwork to your cart does not reserve it, you must successfully complete the checkout process to secure this artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal purchases are subject to terms; please refer to the policies on the website.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe customer is responsible for any import duties, taxes, or fees charged by their country’s customs office.
