ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2017 Submission. Ivory by Andrea Stocker. All Rights Reserved.

The whole world is singing, clicking, grinding, whistling, and thumping... but we've stopped listening. This quote by Christopher W. Clark is the inspiration behind my work. Bringing to light the terrible reality of our actions that are hidden by dollar signs, the work sheds light on these magnificent animals that are worth more than their valuable body parts that they are killed for. The illegal wildlife trade is happening all around the world, but it is so hidden that many people are blinded from the truth. Finding the real value on this earth is something many people have lost sight of, and unfortunately, we will all pay for it soon if something is not done quickly.
