The habitats of the creatures of the Amazon are being squeezed into smaller and smaller spaces due to man's never ending appetite for food and goods. I decided to collect photos of as many animals from the Amazon as I could and collage them between circular amber gels, (the color represents cultivation,) and then hang them in a wooden box to show their confinement. The two wire hands grabbing at them are man's greed, and the red and orange fire flames at the top of the square shows the mode of destruction. Over this piece is an eye made with green gel which surrounds the pupil that is a reduced image of the animals below. The green gel represents the naive idealism of 'green advocates' like me.
