Returned Gaze
Returned Gaze: An Intimate Connection with Wildlife
This collection encapsulates the rare instance when humans find themselves in a momentary connection with birds and wildlife. They capture fleeting encounters with diverse species, freezing in time the mutual exchange of gazes. I’m naturally drawn to the eyes of these birds and creatures which stare back with a curiosity that mirrors our own. It is as though, for a brief instant, we enter into their universe, sharing their realm of wonder and intrigue.
These extraordinary moments portray more than mere encounters. For me, they evoke a shared state of being, where humans and wildlife coexist in a delicate harmony, recognizing in one another a kindred spirit.
