Product description: 

1 – Photography:  “In My Room”

Ochetorhynchus melanurus holds its ground among stone and slope,

 a quiet inhabitant of Chile’s central cordillera.

Known as Chiricoca, or garganta blanca,

 it belongs to the subtle geography of rock, wind, and elevation,

 where presence is measured in stillness.

This specimen, preserved within the collection of the National Museum of Natural History of Chile,

 carries another layer of time,

 where observation becomes memory.

“In My Room” brings that distance inward,

 transforming archive into intimacy,

 and landscape into a space of reflection.
