This work is influenced by tribal people in Africa who adorn their bodies with pigments and plant materials. Because of contact with the outside world and war in their area their culture is changing fast. Their body painting is now a tourist attraction. The decline of their traditions juxtaposed with the increasing loss of the world's fauna is what I want to address with this work.
