Trophy for the sixth mass extinction event: Ringed Seal

2025, Glazed ceramic, 14x11x11 inches

The Earth has experienced five previous mass extinction events, the last one occurring 65.5 million years ago which wiped out the dinosaurs from existence. Due to human activity, we’re in the midst of a sixth mass extinction, driven by climate change and the unsustainable use of land, water and energy. As our world’s most powerful leaders act more proud of this mass extinction than appalled, I’ve made trophies to really congratulate them on a job done about as poorly as one can do.
