Richard Humann asked friends and associates from around the world to send him stories from their childhood, written in their native language. The stories were then printed onto styrene and woven into bird nest sculptures. The storied languages range from Arabic, Chinese, Croatian, English, Finnish, German, and Italian, to Korean, Russian, Spanish, and more.
