This work depicts Benjamin, the last
known thylacine, who died in captivity in 1936. Painted behind a veil of
chicken wire, he becomes both a memory and a warning. The wire symbolizes
confinement, a cage not just of metal, but of human neglect and forgetting.
Benjamin snarls not in rage, but in resistance, a ghost of the wild we chose
not to protect.
