For me, freedom is movement.
I have always been drawn to birds, ballerinas, dancing and flying. A bird flies, a dancer moves — both follow an instinct rather than a fixed path.
I love to dance because it gives me a feeling of freedom. I don’t have to decide what my next step will be. I simply feel the movement and let it happen.
Chickadees
Childhood · Memory · Freedom
For me, these chickadees bring back the happiest memories of my childhood — summers at my grandmother’s country house.
Every summer, we would drive for four hours from the city to spend time at my grandparents’ house. I would sleep outside under a mosquito net and wake up to the sound of the birds chirping, promising me another day of adventure.
I would spend my days climbing the fruit trees in their garden, exploring, playing and simply being free.
When I look at these birds, I don’t just see birds. I see those summer mornings, the garden, the sound of their singing, and the feeling of freedom I had as a child.
