Because of my parents' work, pornography was very much around me from a young age. It was commonplace for me to act as if I couldn't see what I could see about sexuality, and by extension, my own body. 

A quick look at a parakeet's body does not reveal its gender characteristics.

In total, I lived with parrots for 20 years, but it was some time before I saw the moment of mating. The sexual things was always try to keep out of my sight.

But watching the parakeet mating with my hand in the living room, it was as if something inside me had started to move.

Since then, I have been working on the image of the overlap between human and bird.
