I read an article at the beginning of the semester about a sculpture titled "bird in space" and was inspired to make this group of work. The article explained a court case involving this piece in which it was debated whether the piece was art or not because it did not actually look like a bird. I thought this was interesting so I wanted to explore the idea of photographing birds without any actual birds being in my images. I focused on characteristics of birds and how they relate to humans.
