I Created Surreal Images With Animals To Spread Awareness About Speciesism

我创作了超现实的动物图片来传播物种意识

Have you ever wondered how someone can be moved to tears by a news story about a killed lion, yet feel no remorse over putting a maggot on the hook and go fishing?

你有没有想过，一个人怎么可能会被一条关于一只被杀死的狮子的新闻故事感动得流泪，却对把蛆挂在鱼钩上然后去钓鱼毫无悔意?

The answer is speciesism, the belief that one species is more important than another. In an effort to make people know about something that is commonly unknown about, I created this art in an effort to raise awareness about this issue.

答案是物种主义，相信一个物种比另一个物种更重要。为了让人们了解一些通常不为人知的事情，我创造了这门艺术来提高人们对这个问题的认识。

I am really not trying to convince anybody to live a certain way. Because no matter what choices you’ve made, it's yours to make! What I want to do is to start people talking in a friendly and relaxed way. By connecting deep issues with beautiful art, I am trying to create this "common ground" surrounding the topics. The art becomes like a mediator.

我真的不想说服任何人以某种方式生活。因为不管你做了什么选择，都是你的选择!我想做的是让人们以一种友好而轻松的方式开始交谈。通过将深刻的问题与美丽的艺术联系起来，我试图围绕这些主题创建这种“共同点”。艺术变成了一种媒介。

The purpose of the art is to show how we are all one in (and with) nature, the earth and its life forces. If a cow can be best friends with a lion, we should treat our planet and everything on it as our best friends. Because no matter species or belief, we all need to be one with each other.

这门艺术的目的是展示我们如何与大自然、地球及其生命力融为一体。如果一头牛能和一头狮子成为最好的朋友，我们就应该把我们的星球和星球上的一切都当作最好的朋友。因为无论物种或信仰，我们都需要彼此成为一体。
