Konnor Kwan, Tangled (SINGLE SHOT 2025)

I witnessed a bittersweet moment last year—an Australian Darter caught in an unfortunate struggle. A piece of a nest was tangled on its beak as it perched on a rock, desperately shaking its head to get free. The authorities were aware of the situation at the time, so all I could do was hope for a happy ending. Moments like these remind me of nature’s beauty and fragility.
