This sculpture stages a stark contrast between freedom and confinement. A weathered lobster trap, built for capture and enclosure, anchors the form with its rigid, claustrophobic geometry—evoking the experience of being trapped with no space to move or breathe. Rising from it are soft white feathers, symbols of lightness, mobility, and the instinct to soar. The feathers suggest flight, but here they emerge from a structure designed to deny escape. The piece reflects on the “birth lottery,” not in human terms, but through the lens of animals—those born into cages, versus those born into the open sky. It speaks to how fate, determined at birth, dictates the scope of possibility: who is free to move, and who is caught from the start.
