Original artwork description:

979 mountain gorillas (approximately) still exist in 2019.

This acrylic painting on loose canvas with copper threads sewn in was painted to help highlight the need for us as humans to do something before it is too late.
They do not survive in zoos. So their own natural mountain forest habitat needs to be protected.

The painting incorporates tumbling head statues as symbols of worlds collapsing with the gorilla face a part of the mountain area they live in and need to survive.

'Disappearing Worlds, Hanging On By A Thread' is part of a series I am working on entitled 'Protect To Survive'

Materials used:

loose canvas, copper thread
