Hey, little bird, how did you learn to fly? is an exhibition developed from the artist’s participation in wild bird breeding monitoring and ringing work on a remote sandy island in the tropics. What began as scientific fieldwork gradually evolved into an artistic journey: a form of residency shaped not by clocks, but by tides and birds.

The process followed a rhythm of Fieldwork → Data → Ceramic: from observing and recording the birds’ breeding activities, to transforming those traces and data into material expressions through clay. Through this process, the artist learned to observe, record, and understand the lives of birds, while also reflecting on human existence.

The works presented in this exhibition attempt to preserve something from that fleeting encounter: a memory, a cluster of footprints, or a trace left behind.
