Homeward Bound - The Nature of Instinct

From the exhibition: Eye on Nature
Wings spread wide against a purple-mauve sky, a Tui soars homeward, its form blending seamlessly with the dusk. The bird doesn't question its direction—it simply knows.
This is nature of instinct: the way our feet find the familiar path in darkness, how our bodies relax as we near home, the internal compass that guides us without conscious thought. Like the Tui navigating through twilight, we all carry this ancient knowing: the pull toward safety, rest, and the places that hold us.
