(The Dawn Chorus)

Content: Witness the first light and sounds of a new dawn breaking, as observed around the world one year ago.

With a soundtrack filled with environmental bird songs and ambient aural awakenings, the contemplative and collective portrait moves from darkness to light as a metaphor for hope and rebirth. 2020, United States, digital, nonverbal, 21 min.
