Designed by Ulayu, the composition captures shorebirds in various moments of lift and flight. A large bird in the foreground calls upward, its beak open mid-cry, while smaller birds rise behind it in a rhythmic arc. The contrast in size and spacing creates a vivid sense of depth, motion, and shared momentum.
