Over the course of many years, capturing the essence of "birds in cages" has emerged as a recurrent theme within my photography. Motivated by curiosity, fascination, and a sense of empathy, I found myself photographing birds wherever I encountered compelling subjects. The act of closely observing and photographing birds in cages, however, unveils a somber reality. These creatures are confined within spaces that are too small, severed from their natural habitats, and separated from the world beyond by delicate bars. Originally titled "BIRDS IN CAGES," this series, encompassing 25 color images taken between 2008 and 2020, delves into the social, religious, and individual perspectives of those who hold these birds in captivity. The work initially aimed to remain purely photographic, capturing the stark contrast of these birds confined behind thin bars. With "UNCAGED," I have taken a new approach, involving the application of acrylic paint onto the print to cover the cage bars, intentionally blurring the edges and structures. This transformative process imparts a sense of liberation to the birds, and simultaneously, the image transcends its initial state as a mere photograph of captive birds. The bars, now veiled by paint, create a visual metaphor for freedom, transforming the photograph into a more unique and ethereal entity. "UNCAGED" represents not only a visual evolution but also a conceptual shift. It invites viewers to reflect on the complex relationship between humans and the creatures they confine. Through this series, I aspire to evoke emotions, provoke contemplation, and challenge the conventional mindset surrounding the captivity of these remarkable beings.
