About the Artwork:
“‘Endangered Species’ comes from the phrase “too weird to live, and too rare to die”, and is a reflection on the endangered species of animals. I started thinking about the human species that have become extinct, like the myth of Atlantis. I imagine this girl hiding in the depths of the sea.” – P54
