The piece is inspired by the remarkable journeys taken by millions of migratory birds every year, as they travel between their breeding grounds and wintering grounds and back again. Birds fly over rivers and roads, mountains and meadows, forests and fields, guided by the stars and an inherent connection to the places they call home.
