Inspired by the beautiful & famous Baobab Alley in Madagascar. This alley is lined on both sides by giant Baobab trees. It has been declared a National Tourist attratction in Madagascar.

In the rest of the regions on this large island, these trees are being brought down at an alarming rate.

• I wanted to portray the trees’ helplessness against progress by placing them in such a way as if they were holding “hands” as protection against MAN. The setting sun symbolises the possibility that these gentle giants may become extinct if we do not take care.
