Parrot I 14״x25״
Cells - From their beginnings, zoos exhibited animals from distant places to demonstrate the superiority and power of their culture which had acquired these animals through trade or conquest.
In “Cells” I photographed the habitats of zoo animals while digitally removing the animals. What remained shows the artificial nature of these “homes”, designed ostensibly for the animal’s comfort, but actuality showcasing our domination of them.
