Extinct

The African environment gave birth to our species over millennia: water and fire, predator and prey, moulded us into the creatures we are today. This project focuses on the beauty of our biological history, yet it is also a window into our modernity. The tools we use have evolved as cell phones now replace arrows. But evidence suggests that our bodies and hearts have remained largely unchanged for over 200,000 years.

Wildlife calls me to reflect on the place we hold on this planet. Tribal cultures guide me toward meaning that may have been diminished or lost within a globalised consciousness. The lion whispers of courage, the elephant of wisdom, power, and memory. How deeply is their collective presence rooted within us?

Extinct reflects on our origins, the fragility of the natural environment, and the future that awaits us on this planet.
