Zebra

Mamaroneck, NY

Note: Zebras with their black and white stripes represent harmony, unity and balance in the African ecosystem. The coil represents journey and changes in life as we all make such a journey during our existence experiencing many changes that are comprised by our daily activities (reinforced by the scattered lottery tickets). The turquoise splotches represent watering holes that African wildlife must utilize to survive as well as life itself and freedom. The zebra is located by one of these watering holes such that all of the attributes of this digital work of art are compressed into a tiny area. The spacer rings represent continuity as the seasons alternate between dry and wet, cold and hot in much of sub-Saharan Africa where wildlife such as zebras inhabit. The happy face exhibits the emotions and feelings of visualizing, documenting and experiencing the African ecosystem and its rich treasures when these wildlife refuges are preserved and wildlife is protected from poachers and senseless development.
