Program notes
A glass aviary becomes a place for listening. Tessa's acoustic cello is surrounded by ferns, weathered metal and suspended glass birds. These birds remain sculptures; their changing presence comes from the light passing through them.
The film's prism colors develop from small highlights into richer spectral reflections as the piece grows. Intimate portraits and quieter architectural views give space around the more animated cello passages. The visual idea joins fragility with movement: glass holds a shape while light continues to travel.
