I took this photo on my birthday. In it, the circular patterns represent the flow of time, and create a nice composition that centers on the bird. To me, the circles also represent nests-this bird, despite being grown, sits in a nest-like shape-though it’s obviously not the nest it grew in, and it will not stay there very long. To me, this represents my experience in life in school-I’m constantly changing, graduating through the years, and I have not yet reached a point where life has become stagnant. In this way, I’m always finding “new beginnings”–meeting new people, finding new homes, and slowly forging an identity to one day reach a constant, steady path.
