extinct each day—a rate the world has not seen since the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Yet contrary to past mass extinctions, which were caused naturally by climate shifts, asteroids strikes and volcanic eruptions, this influx of extinctions is caused by one of nature’s most intricate creations: the human species. Human activity has caused global warming and the loss of wildlife habitats, which are primary drivers in the rapid and unprecedented changes to our biosphere and the complex ecological web that exists within it, threatening countless species as they tip like dominos in our composite ecosystem. “I want to share what’s on my mind and in my heart with people through my art,” says Atmajaya of his series. “I want to show that all animals face the threat of extinction and that so many of them are already on their way to extinction.” While a love of nature can be considered a mainstream concept within the world of art, Atmajaya takes that concept to the next level. By uniquely combining or revealing unusual natural elements, Atmajaya is able to create a masterpiece that sits just outside of our usual perception Boby Atmajaya - @flecce_
