Birds Fleeing documents what happens when birds can no longer stay.

I photograph them mid-flight – blurred, chaotic, moving fast against static architecture. They're not migrating. They're escaping. Heat, habitat loss, shifting ecosystems – whatever the cause, the result is the same: mass departure.

I shoot in black and white to strip away distraction and emphasize the contrast – organic life against hard-edged structures, movement against stillness, nature against what we've built in its place. I layer multiple images to show the scale and urgency. This isn't a few birds passing through. It's flocks abandoning spaces they used to inhabit.

The tension is visible: birds that should be settled are fleeing, and the buildings they're fleeing past aren't going anywhere.

Birds Fleeing isn't a metaphor. It's what's actually happening.
