SUBMISSION: The Cost of Convenience © 2021 Geraldine Simmons

Jon Norris August 30, 2021

ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission

Our modern “convenient” way of living is destroying rainforest habitat, all for making convenient ready made snacks from palm oil. Those instant noodles, ice-cream, corn chips and many other products made from palm oil comes at a significant cost: the loss of the forest homes and lives of one of the most beautiful creatures on the planet. Maybe it’s time to re-think the instant gratification mentality and glutinous consumption habits modern society is so driven by.

Through each portrait I aspire to show what is inherent in every animal on earth, of what is beautiful and worth saving and to show that these innocent beings are just as sentient as we are. When someone views one of my wildlife portraits and connects with their eyes I invite the viewer to become more curious and to take a closer look; to learn more about them in order to save them.
