Pigeon Worries

This video poetry scopes the lives of pigeons in Los Angeles. I captured the footage between 2012 and 2019, at the Sunset + Crescent Heights intersection of my neighborhood. Birds' behavior echoes human migrations, hinting at my climate anxiety, materialized by the architectural transformations in my city.
