Emerald migration resonates with the idea of movement, migration is about movement from one place to another. When I consider the idea of migration in nature, its a natural movement that happens through the seasons for food and survival purposes. 

It’s a pattern throughout the year that is encoded into the animals for their highest potential to survive. What I find interesting about the idea of movement and pattern is that for animals this idea of change is a necessity, the pattern is their survival, sometimes their patterns will change based on the seasons and the potentiality for their survival and they change with this. 

For me this piece was about recognising patterns in our lives and that sometimes we need to change from where we are, to be where we need. So this idea of emerald migration is to show the beauty in a repetitive pattern that is natural to us, but this pattern can also shift and change for our greatest good.
