Alex Wang, Between Tide and Light (ANIMALS 2026)

On the shores of Kaikōura, a banded dotterel lives at the shifting edge of sea and land. Driftwood, pebbles and changing light shape its fragile coastal world. This series explores space and intimacy — a solitary bird held between vast shoreline and quiet detail.
