Stilt · 2026

Double Take

Some birds bring their own audience. A black-winged stilt picks its way across still water at first light, its impossibly long coral-pink legs bending into a sharp zigzag with every step. Below, the glassy surface returns the scene in perfect upside-down detail — bill, eye, and stride doubled into a mirrored twin. The result is a quiet study in symmetry, where reflection turns one wading bird into two.
