ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2019 Submission

Though they seem to 'have it all' these three monkeys are choosing to stay ignorant. They are so wrapped up in looks and materialistic ideals that they ultimately become accustomed to staying ignorant. Luxury and comfort is all that matters to them they still smile even though their ears eyes and mouths have been stitched together. As long as there comfortable that's all that matters and as for the rest well they're left unthought of.

My art skills might not be the best but the representation of my message will be. I have struggled trying to find the best way to show the materialistic view in which we as ""Americans"" or society in general live. We ourselves are monkeys, telling each other what the true meaning of life is while we wrap ourselves in materialistic conformity. As long as we are comfortable we care not for others sake, not even for a dying species.
