I did a number of studies of the rhino, wanting to find a way of communicating the issues of poaching across the plains of Africa. I love how the power of the creature running towards the viewer speaks of their majesty and force, inspiring vulnerability and danger. We risk loosing these beautiful creatures at our peril.

“This Rhino has a determined air, walking steadily towards me”
