Perhaps there's a mutual understanding between birds who share a tree branch, food and resting spots that we can learn from. Being different and being able to get along was the theme I reflected on, inspired by my paired MELT gallery partner's painting entitled Neighbors (Group exhibition, Pairings, July 2024). 

All over the world, the concept of community and mankind's hope to finding the key to tolerance and compatibility is essential. Hope, where neighbors can reside side by side, ideally with minimal or no conflict. Why is it so difficult? Clearly, we can learn from feathered friends.
