INTO THE WILD is a view of the animal kingdom in all its majesty and a fierce display of nature’s day-to-day survival. When we think we can relate to what we see, we quickly realize there is so much more that will never be part of our reality. The raw sensibility of nature is captured for a fleeting moment from the human perspective.
Animals have fascinated artists for centuries, connecting human cultures across time. While we occupy the same earth, we live in entirely different worlds, often colliding. The mystery of the animal kingdom’s instinct, strength, vulnerability, motion, and power will forever keep us in awe. INTO THE WILD is a glimpse of humankind’s view into this untamed world.
