Description

Ardea Alba Egreta Written by Andrea Halaby Visually interpreted by ARTJEDI1 - - - English translation: Ardea Alba Egreta -to my father Three nine-millimeter bullets pierce his body. Dig black holes in the vital organs. They burn his clothes. The Blood on the asphalt is a dry lagoon. A white heron perches in the red-pomegranate circle. Ardea Alba on the mainland: searches for earthworms, insects other birds' new born, smells the blood until it finds food. Three shots the echo of lead orbits inside my ears. I do not breathe. I do not look at his body on the stretcher. I do not touch his cold hands. I do not speak. I do not walk. The still heron silently watches the prey uses its beak as a weapon. They removed his tie. They have left his shiny black shoes. It flies with its neck retracted unlike storks, cranes, and spoonbills. I wave a white flag at half-mast I call upon the heron I chase away its flight. Let it find food on another sidewalk. *Documentary poetry. Ardea Alba Egreta, Species. Bird, White Egret.

The Visuals element of this collaboration is a thought-provoking and emotionally charged piece by ARTJEDI1. It combines a visually stunning AI-extended photograph from their 'Waterscapes by ARTJEDI1'. The piece explores the idea of a fleeting moment being artificially replicated and the complexity of human emotions in response to a terrible, unspoken event. Complementing the visual component is a haunting sound collage, meticulously crafted by ARTJEDI1 from multiple CC0 resources, to resonate with the narrator's emotional state. It mirrors the turmoil and confusion experienced by the narrator, who is grappling with the aftermath of an unspecified, tragic event. The unsettling audio serves to amplify the sense of unease permeating the piece, drawing listeners into the narrator's emotional journey.
