After my first experience performing this piece at HIAP in 2022, I decided to transform it into a repeatable work. Consequently, I designed and constructed a modular stick that I can easily carry with me, allowing for quick assembly wherever I choose. The aim is to replicate the performance in various locations around the world on different occasions. The score of this piece involves sitting on a chair in a distinctive location, usually elevated, for a few hours, holding a stick while patiently awaiting the arrival of a bird. Occasionally, the performance encompasses the process of assembling the stick and guiding the audience to the designated spot where I will be seated.
