Two Worlds Collide
Limited Edition — Chanthaburi, Thailand. From the project ‘Salvation’. Series ‘Living with Elephants’.
Asia’s wild elephant population is now barely 50,000 individuals and they occupy just 5% of their historical range. Threatened by habitat destruction, poaching and expanding industrial agriculture, some of the largest remaining herds of wild Asian elephants are in Thailand, and it is significant in that these herds are not always isolated within protected areas. In the Eastern Economic Corridor, just 100 kilometers from Bangkok, elephants like this wild bull move freely within a terrain of human communities and enterprise.
In this image I explore the boundaries of wilderness and human culture, and the ways they intersect and interact. This is a powerful metaphor in a world where human populations exert increasing pressure on wildlife, and wildlife conservation is effected only within the context of human habitation.
