about

The last traces of many extinct species are located
in the archives of research facilities and museums,
largely forgotten. Due to the choices of previous generations, we’ve lost the opportunity to experience and learn from these unique species first hand.

When we disrupt the delicate balance of nature
in ways we have yet to fully understand, we threaten
the well being of other species as well as ourselves. We are connected and what we do matters. Our actions right now, create the legacy we leave for future generations. Let's choose to make that legacy a good one.

held in place with pins, a paragraph
a single photograph, a single photograph
silent, laid silent

oh, oh...what will remain then
an exquisitely cataloged cul-de-sac
a single photograph, a single photograph
when after all, what could I have done
