Ecstatic Dance

Ecstatic Dance emerges from a fleeting encounter where light, wind, and avian movement align in a moment of pure spontaneity. On the Algarve coastline, a flock of circling birds becomes a living choreography, a shifting constellation of wings tracing patterns that appear and vanish in the same breath. In this series, the camera follows their fluid trajectories, capturing the ephemeral geometry of flight. The birds move as if guided by an unseen rhythm, their spirals expanding and dissolving into the sky. Each gesture is unique, unrepeatable, a brief signature of presence carried by air and light. Rather than documenting behavior, Ecstatic Dance reveals the poetry of motion itself: the delicate interplay between instinct, environment, and the ever-changing forms of the natural world. These photographs echo the fragile beauty of the ephemeral , reminding us that movement is a language through which the living world expresses its quiet, unpredictable harmony.
