If Charles Darwin were still voyaging around the world, these are some of the items he might have recently acquired - either as specimens or gifts to enhance his collection. If he were still travelling, however, Darwin would document lost worlds rather than “found” ones. Reminiscent of the samples brought to England on the Beagle in 1836, my artefacts comment on similar areas of concern: living species of flora and fauna, i.e. examples of plants and creatures that suggest adaptation and evolution. Unlike their ancient forbearers, today’s animals, plants and habitats are being obliterated at an alarmingly accelerated rate, due to unchecked industrialization and human-population growth. The problems endangering present-day ecosystems and driving living beings to near-extinction result, primarily, from the human lust for money, power, and property/land.
