About the Piece:
Recent studies may now have determined that great apes possess ‘Theory of Mind’ – the ability to understand that others have mental states, something once thought to be unique to humans and indeed the thing that some feel actually makes us human. With the current situation in the world, it is now more important than ever to re-evaluate our relationship with the natural world, and accepting that we are not alone, with regards the ability to feel and think, has to be part of that.
At least 50% of the proceeds from this sale will support the charitable work of David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (DSWF) and our ground-based conservation partners across Africa and Asia.
