It’s a worry for some', is a humorous approach to the jurassic jaws of the great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias). Through the use of the 22k gold juxtaposed against the black and white charcoal drawing the viewer is invited to question the prioritisation man places on these creatures. This new edition questions, who should be more afraid of the other?
Villainised by media, causing hysteria and mass hunting of these majestic and naturally peaceful creatures, the great white has been in fast decline due over fishing and illegal poaching. The white shark is a protected species in many areas of the world and do to conservancy efforts it is believed that numbers are slowly increasing on the East and West coast of the US.
