IN THE FOREST BOARD SHORTS
IN THE FOREST CREPE SILK BOARD SHORTS LIMITED EDITION of 100
Painted in a naive post-impressionist style, set in a lush gold and green jungle, a vibrant tiger stalks through the undergrowth. The tiger grins widely at a human skeleton whilst the skull grimaces back.
The World Wildlife Fund reports that 97% of the tiger population has been lost in the last 100 years, and as few as 3,200 tigers are left living in the wild today.
FURTHER READING
There may be no other work of art that reveals man’s relationship to nature more vividly than Blake’s Illuminated poem; The Tyger.
“Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?”
For Blake, the ferocity of the tiger makes it a miracle of nature. Because tigers are so wild, and a true representation of the raw sublime nature that humans can never tame, their extinction would be one the worst of all ecological tragedies for the world.
As the dominant species and self-proclaimed custodians of the earth, Humans have a duty to preserve nature not just as decoration, but as a sublime wonder bigger than ourselves. The wilderness is wild and must remain so.
