About the Artwork:
“Axolotls are adorable salamanders- known as the “Mexican walking fish” despite being amphibians. They are critically endangered and it is believed that only 1,000 exist in the wild. Juxtaposed against coral- another species at risk- Microcosm serves as a reminder of the small and hidden worlds that are just as significant as the whole of nature seen everyday.” – Amy Guidry
