Abstract
I am a biology student with a particular interest in ecology
and conservation. Because of this, I have spent a lot of time
thinking about the state of the world; the state of its species.
We are in the midst of a mass extinction. I think that it is easy
to think about that and become completely devoid of hope.
The world is in a troubling state, and it is going to be hard to
do anything about it. It will take mass, worldwide change,
and a lot of sacrifice. But before that can happen, people
need to care. We need to care outside of the scope of
utilitarianism. We should care about other species because we
share this space with them, and they don't deserve to lose it
because of us. The most important connection between us is
that we're here together. How amazing it is that we get to be
here together? That's where I'm coming from with these
pieces. I wanted to represent our togetherness and our
connection in a weird, super literal way, by creating these
chimeras of humans and other species.
