EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the heart of Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, Illinois. The image showcases a mesmerizing close-up of a Lowland Gorilla, lying on its back and hugging itself. The gorilla's expression exudes both tranquility and vulnerability, as it finds solace within its enclosure. The photographer skillfully captures the essence of this moment - a glimpse into the captive life of wild animals seeking comfort amidst their urban surroundings. Against the backdrop of one of America's most vibrant cities, this image serves as a poignant reminder of our responsibility towards these magnificent creatures. The tiredness evident in the gorilla's eyes hints at the challenges faced by animals living in captivity. Yet, there is also an undeniable sense of resilience emanating from its posture - an enduring spirit that captivates viewers. As we admire this stunning photograph, we are reminded not only of the beauty found within nature but also our duty to protect it. This image invites us to reflect upon our relationship with wildlife and consider how zoos can play a role in conservation efforts. Andrew Leyerle's masterful composition transports us beyond geographical locations; it transports us into contemplation about humanity's impact on wild animals and encourages us to appreciate their existence even within city limits.
