Description:
There is a lot of fragility within our society and economy these days. A lot of people are surviving under very harsh conditions and create shelters out of anything they can find - similar to how birds create their nests by collecting material from their habitat. Both these types of structures already seem very fragile and once a small part of it is broken or taken away, the entire structure can completely unravel. Our country’s uncertain economy sometimes makes it feel as if there’s a tidal wave that is slowly building up, waiting to wash us all away.
