Though Soleimani’s photos are often carefully staged, Misunderstanding is a rare candid: a crow bites her finger as she performs physical therapy on its injured wing. With this image, the artist offers a glimpse of her work as a wildlife rehabilitator, pushing back against the common belief that rescued animals understand or feel gratitude for human care. The bite is a reminder that the birds remain wild, with their own instincts, and that care is a one-sided commitment grounded in responsibility rather than reciprocity.
