ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission

This piece is a reminder to the viewers what type of situation endangered species on earth faces right now. Grass and the arid environment of the animals are portrayed in black-and-white or gray, showing the lifeless environments the animals live in. A desperate fish and snake lead the viewer's attention to a cross. Under a shining white cross sits a small pond of water and grass, which is the only thing exuding vibrant colour. The art piece is named "Last Hope", as in there is still a bit of light for the animals, and it depends on us, the humans to decide their fate. Animals within the drawing are elephants, leopards, rhino and more. Those are animals that are facing a serious extinction crisis. It is my hope that my work will influence viewers and encourage a positive change.
