Spring Break
Photograph by Daniel Jericó, 2019
 

Spring has arrived, and the signs within this shell tell of a creature that, though small, was not idle in its waiting. The tally lines etched into the inner surface of the shell speak of restlessness, a quiet resolve to break free. A trail of tiny footprints leading from the shattered shell shows a creature with purpose—less resurrection, more jailbreak. Whether driven by the warmth of the season, the promise of sunshine, or some primal urge to roam free, the message is clear: the chick, eager for freedom, will not be kept within bounds.
