Merging and emerging…

Bird merges into our human society as we domesticate them or build onto their homes. We wish to emerge the beauty of the nature of birds. They all have its individual identity and thoughts while coordinating so fluently together. Their unique fluidity, movements, actions, ideas add to one and other which contributes to the flock simultaneously. This sociality of how they live and become stronger as a group are very similar to humans. We gather in groups, learn, work, play and hang out. We’re all influencing one another in some ways like bird flocks.

Therefore, we want to show the aesthetic of birds that are undermined and reflect on the similarity between humans and bird communities as a boarder social phenomenon. There is an invisible tie between humans, nature and birds that should not be overlooked.
