Earth Pictures highlights the devastating effects of industrialisation, deforestation and the use fossil fuels is having on the environment. This series of drawings celebrates through depicting endangered monkeys that once thrived in Africa before the onset of Western colonial industrialisation. Forest loss and overhunting are eroding African tropical biodiversity and threatening local human food security, livelihoods, and health. Some of Africa most endangered monkeys are illustrated, alongside African ancestral masks, representing preindustrial African harmony when people had a deep connection, respect
and relationship with nature.
