Wild chickadee invited to bring-in some new perspectives that might pay dividends. The photograph took probably an hour to get it right. The model (Sarah) was very patient as the birds put more time to trust the set-up than during my human-less set-ups.

Story

The demons are no more out there, they are instead seen within us. Nature became vulnerable. Maybe a playful spirit is what it needs to calm it down. A the the same time, people are anxious, worried about the changes we are witnessing. To help restoring the confidence in a plausible future, a little bird shows he is ready to trust humans again by responding interactively. Of course there are seeds on the model hair-nest, but they are not a bait, they are seeds of harmony. It took around an hour to get the bird trust and see him landing on the nest. Time is also what we need to change things, but it takes a thoughtful actions instead of emotional reactions.
