A quiet moment. These birds, gathered shoulder to shoulder watching us as we watch them. Their expressions are indifferent. They carry the strange intimacy of a group that knows something we don’t. This piece explores the feeling of being observed rather than being the observer — of entering a room where a conversation has already started, and every head turns your way. It’s about community, witness, and the shared, silent knowledge that can pass between a group without a word.
