Cycles of Flight is a 40-minute digital video work that captures the gradual consumption of a bird by ants, transforming a seemingly simple scene into a meditation on the nature of life, death, and transformation. The bird, symbolic of freedom, creativity, and the inherent potential for renewal, becomes a poignant metaphor for creative evolution and the complex, often unpredictable nature of becoming alongside interconnected cycles of birth, death and renewal.
