Objects of the Almost-Bird is a collection of tactile, crafted objects that invite humans to engage with gestures inspired by bird behaviors: grooming, pecking, balancing, stillness. By translating these into embodied experiences, the project explores how design can shift perception and foster new forms of awareness and empathy toward the other-than-human world. Visitors are invited to experience their surroundings differently, not to imitate birds, but to attune differently.
