Aim Towards the Sky

Aim Towards the Sky

Photo of a young Western Lowland Gorilla. If your first thought is that these are human eyes – think again. These are GORILLA eyes – the intelligence, emotion and sentience all belong to the Gorilla. I try and show in my work that each species is made up of individuals with individual faces and personalities. Appreciate our similarities with these animals, but celebrate our differences.

    It’s like an image that would be used for greenpeace or an animal rights campaign. His look says ’ what has the world become? where do I go? What is left for me?”. As michelle says above me , it is a little sad but also very touching in some way. where did you take this shot if you dont mind telling?
