Bird Houses

Drawing upon a constructional and artistic language I have cultivated over the past years, my proposal unfolds as an act of quiet collaboration with nature: to build timber nesting and resting structures, tenderly anchored to the living branches of a tree.
These pieces — at once architecture and sculpture — are conceived not merely as shelters but as invitations, offering sanctuary to non-human beings. Designed for colonization by birds and other small wanderers of the air, they are spaces for nesting, for resting, for simply pausing in the embrace of the tree’s canopy.
Yet these are not the birdhouses of tradition. Each structure is a miniature architectural gesture, a crafted vessel where form and function meet imagination — ephemeral dwellings that honor both the artistry of making and the mystery of life they are meant to shelter.
In their presence, the tree itself becomes a living host, a collaborator in a choreography of coexistence, where human hands and wild instincts weave new possibilities of shared space.
