These include various species of shorebirds, such as sandpipers, plovers, and godwits, which can be seen in large numbers during the spring and fall migrations. Coastal wetlands, such as lagoons, estuaries and mudflats, are vital habitats for these birds, providing food and shelter during their long migrations.

“Digital foraging”
Introducing “digital foraging”, my latest project that delves into the vast and untapped world of digital information. With a sheer endless amount of historic images and resources available online, the possibilities are endless. The artwork you see here is a perfect example of what can be achieved through “digital foraging”.
Unfortunately it takes much more than just a quick search to get the results you see here. It takes hours of research, technical know-how and a keen eye to find the right images, in the right resolution, and format. And that’s just the beginning. The real work starts with processing and manipulating the images to create something new and unique.
One of the most important aspects of this project is the identification of the species shown. Many of the scientific names used today have changed and some individuals are incredibly complex to describe. This requires hours of research in scientific databases and historical records.
For me, this is what “digital foraging” is all about. The thrill of the hunt, the excitement of discovery and the satisfaction of creating something new and beautiful from what was once forgotten. It’s also a modern take on the traditional art of foraging, and I can’t wait to see what else can be found in the vast depths of the digital world.
