Project Title: Wings Over Concrete - Urban Birds' Interlaced Flight Patterns in the Cityscape

As a nature and wildlife photographer, I have always been fascinated by the ways in which birds adapt to urban environments. My project, Wings Over Concrete, explores the intricate and often overlooked relationships between birds and city life. Using the interlacing framing concept, I aim to highlight the grace and resilience of urban birds as they navigate the steel and concrete landscapes of our cities.

Through my lens, I capture the vibrant patterns of bird feathers, the subtle interplay of light and shadow, and the serene beauty of these avian inhabitants amidst the hustle and bustle of urban settings. This project is a visual narrative and poetry that tells the story of how birds find food, nesting spots, and safe havens amidst the chaos of city life. It is a testament to their incredible adaptability and the ways in which nature can thrive in even the most built-up environments.

I hope my work inspires viewers to pause and appreciate the aerial performers that share our urban spaces, reminding us that we are not alone in our pursuit of progress and modernization.
