Free Bird

A flock of shadows merged with the flesh of the crowd. Nameless, distorted — they do not live; they move. Among them — one, bright, impossible. A bird that flew not from a cage, but from a body. The one who chose freedom. Loneliness, pain, and hatred will follow. But still — she chose. This is not about victory. It is about the courage to be yourself when the world demands you dissolve. About a freedom more terrifying than any prison. About the white that survives in black — without turning grey. This work is a slap in the face of fear. No scream. No words. Only movement — upward. YAZƏM is when you choose not to be someone’s shadow, even if it means being alone.
