Limited Edition — Ivory, Murchison Falls, Uganda. From the project ‘Salvation’. Series ‘Living with Elephants’.

Ivory or ‘white gold’ is still highly desired across the world for its smooth texture, unique creamy white color, and the ease with which it can be carved into intricate, highly detailed forms of art, jewelry and religious icons. It has always been a global symbol of wealth, luxury, and high social status.

The last great elephant herds of Africa are all but gone now but with successful conservation models taking hold, populations in many areas are coming back. Global awareness of the impact and suffering caused by the ivory trade has grown considerably and has reduced demand and supply significantly, however poaching operations persist, with illicit syndicates laundering new ivory through global black markets.

Reverence is an image representing the veneration of ivory as a commodity but also of great respect and acknowledgment of the damage that has been done and the commitment to repair that damage and our living relationship with one of earth’s most magnificent species.

Special thanks to the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), Uganda Conservation Foundation and Global Conservation.
