Part of the Urban Nature series, Texas Birds is a vibrant mural by Mila Sketch that celebrates the harmony between nature and technology. Installed at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, the work explores the evolution of flight—both biological and mechanical—drawing inspiration from the way birds have influenced some of humanity’s most groundbreaking innovations.
In Mila’s signature style, the mural seamlessly merges abstract geometry with organic forms, suggesting that the observation of the natural world has led to transformative ideas in technology and design. Through this piece, Mila invites viewers to reflect on the origin of invention and the ongoing dialogue between the engineered and the organic, especially in a city like Austin, where innovation and biodiversity coexist.
