Icarus, Come

Overview

I found a little bird on the sidewalk, just around the corner from my house. We became roommates and close friends, connected by our shared otherness, confined within the four walls of my bedroom. Setting up the camera became a ritual, a way for us to interact and explore our relationship. As I scroll back through the memories on my iPhone, Icarus gradually transcends his avian nature. Slowly, he transforms into an image himself, inviting reflection on the nature of the human-pet relationship that we carry in our back pocket.
