Black Birds is a site-specific installation at the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico that reflects on the fragility of life in the face of disasters generated by human negligence and the misuse of natural resources.

The work is composed of hollow, egg-like forms that appear delicately balanced within unstable nests, emphasizing the vulnerability of their structure and the uncertainty of their survival. These sculptural elements suggest a moment suspended between equilibrium and collapse.

Scattered across the site, the forms are perceived in silhouette, revealing the species contained within each perforated egg only through backlighting. They rest on bicycle wheels that function as precarious nests, mounted atop slender steel columns. These poetic constructions sway above a black stain—an allusion to an indiscriminate spill of inorganic matter contaminating the natural landscape.

Black Birds underscores the interconnected fragility of natural and human systems, calling attention to the responsibility of care while revealing the tension between environmental beauty and its persistent vulnerability.
