WILL MOLDRICH Urban Camouflage, 2022

My artwork explores the relationship between animals and humans, highlighting our destructive habits against animals and the environment in which they reside. To materialise this relationship, I distorted the form of a deer. As one of the most hunted animals in the world, both directly by hunters and indirectly through our industrial expansion, I found its fragile frame a fitting representation of a victim of humanity. By imagining a world where modern prey would have to hide in an industrially contaminated world in order to survive, I created a sombre piece invoking a sense of empathy for our natural environment.
