The animals that we meet on the streets of the world.
The animals that are all around us. The overriding concept behind this challenge was more than just a feel good factor. It was a conceptual attempt to make peace with the nature around us, in this moment of climate change, due to the greed of humanity, to the selfishness of us humans.
When I was little I loved watching documentaries on nature, amongst other things, discovering how many different species populate our earth. Unfortunately, almost all are endangered today. The habitat of so many animals is disappearing, taken away by man and the earth burns more with destructive force. Many, many animals are dying in a horrible way.
It’s a sorry tale but with our challenge, we have managed, in a small way, to revive feelings of closeness, made connection again and given birth to smiles.
