FERÆ – Aurélie Scouarnec’s Intimate Portraits of Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation

Photographer Aurélie Scouarnec turns her lens toward the intimate, often uneasy world of wildlife rehabilitation. Shot in rescue centers across France, FERÆ captures wild animals—injured, vulnerable, and suspended between freedom and confinement. Bandaged wings, stitched fur, and watchful eyes become quiet symbols of resilience and the human desire to mend.

Blending stark realism with subtle lyricism, the book reflects on the contradictions of compassion under institutional care. Where does healing end and control begin? In Scouarnec’s images, the boundaries remain intentionally blurred.
