Birds

In 2017, a bird struck my window and died beneath it. I photographed its body and began paying close attention to birds; not in flight, but in stillness.

Since 2019, I have collected birds found after accidental death and preserved them in a freezer, constructing a personal archive as a resistance to disappearance amid ecological loss and destruction.  

In the studio, they become subjects through which I examine interconnectedness and the fragile boundary between human and animal life, aiming not to document death, but to linger in a space of suspension.
