Description
In her latest body of work, Megan Wolfe examines issues of survival and coexistence through wildlife found in the urban environment. However, ‘urban wildlife’ is a hypocritical term. Portraying masses of pigeons competing for space and food, a parallel is drawn between our culture and the natural world. In a way, nature has adapted, feeding on our scraps, walking alongside us, in order to survive. Likewise, though mankind has progressed, it retains a glimmer of its animalistic qualities. Under the right conditions, we equally become a mass populace consumed by self-preservation. In either case, nature becomes a bastardization of itself, with neither party able to reconcile their similarities, and always continually at odds with one another.
