“A small gray monkey sadly pats a dead crow it holds in its arms, sitting in the remains of a forest. More crows watch them from a distance and another monkey approaches to comfort them. The scene depicts a dying world, a future that the animals perhaps know is inevitable. A threat looms on the horizon but grief has struck them here and now. This is the state we find ourselves in today.” From the catalogue text.
