Birdwatching
birdwatching - noun: the practice of observing birds in their natural environment as a hobby.
"Birdwatching" is a recording of a time when I grappled with constant anxiety attacks upon returning home after losing my job. Amidst these episodes, I became increasingly aware of the bustling air traffic flying over my house. Consumed by paranoia, I delved into extensive research on air travel and diligently monitored the air radar for every passing plane. The fixation grew inexplicably strong, compelling me to document the unfolding events. "Birdwatching" is the result—a raw and unfiltered record captured in a state of panic. These photos remain unedited, and the "effects" you witness are the inadvertent mistakes I made while developing the film. "Birdwatching" embodies my anxiety, preserving every moment in its raw and authentic form.
