Killing at the Birch Trees

A bear emerges from a birch forest, an orange mark on its forehead—the same mark used to identify trees destined for cutting. Marking the forest also means marking the animal: stripping it of its habitat and quietly leading it toward extinction. The canvas extends beyond its frame thanks to two three-dimensional birch trunks, fashioned from recycled cardboard, which open like a curtain onto this scene—a blend of wild beauty and silent menace.
