A Charity Exhibition - Fast Extinction

I have created this project that comes straight from the heart, I truly believe that we can make a difference. Humanity undoubtedly is the reason animals are facing extinction and so we have to be the ones to put it right. With the rate of global warming as it is, not only for them but for our future too, we must make a change. 

Leopard print is the 5th most used print in the world, Tiger print is the 1st. These animals are clearly loved, so why aren't we supporting them more? not only by donating, but by shopping smarter. Fast fashion specifically is the worlds 2nd largest polluter. The way we shop and how often we do, would make a real difference. 

This exhibition is filled with education and will be displayed in Carnaby St. I hope people will come see the work, ask questions and leave feeling informed and empowered to make a change in there own lifestyle. 

It would mean the world to me for this body of work to make a difference. With only 10 vaquita left in the world, there is no better time to help. WWF help to pass legislation through local governments to protect habitats and place stricter measures on poaching, amongst many other amazing projects tailored to each of the animals in the exhibition. WWF are fighting to save our ecosystems on which we depend.

Thank you Montana :)

About the exhibition:

In this photographic exhibition comprising of 15 images Lowery has used the medium of fashion photography to highlight humanity's impact on the future of these species. By using the human form, she provides a mirror for the viewer to relate to the issues these animals face and styling to educate on the unsustainable impact of Fast Fashion and challenge the viewer to think about the way we live.

With the current pandemic the world is living through, the topic of conversation has dramatically changed to our own survival. I want to remind people that many animals live on the brink of extinction, because of our actions, every day. 

We are all very happy to wear a Leopards spots, but, how many of us think about the fact that if we don’t protect these animals, there will come a day when we are wearing the prints of animals that no longer exist. The prints will live on only in landfills and our wardrobes. 

Lowery wishes to encourage the viewer to donate to protect these animals and there habitats and our environment for the future.

Lowery said when speaking about the exhibition  "Our existence can be sustainable. It can work in harmony with our planet, my aim is to educate myself and others, protect what we have, restore what we have lost, and invest in a better future, I believe that the WWF will help us to do this.”
