A nest is a home. Something or someone belongs there. By filling the nests with simple materials I wanted to represent the idea of feeling whole, and belonging somewhere. Then, I realized that a nest is really just a temporary home. Once a bird is old enough they are in the world alone, expected to create their own nest. The flowing of materials from one basket form to another represents this transition. This thought also applies to life as well and when it is the right time to “leave the nest”.
