The Extinct Series

by

in

The Extinct Series is an ongoing visual archive of species that no longer exist.

Each piece presents a lost animal or bird within a stylised, contemporary landscape — often urban, often human — rendered in a restrained risograph-inspired palette. The aesthetic references printed ephemera, field guides, and archival memory, echoing how we now encounter many of these species: only through documentation.

These works are not illustrations of wildlife.

They are portraits of absence.

By placing extinct species within modern graphic environments, the series reflects on the tension between development, memory, and disappearance. The clean typography functions as both identification and memorial inscription.

This body of work explores extinction not as a distant historical event, but as a contemporary cultural reality.

Each print stands as both artwork and quiet monument.

This series explores extinction, memory, and the fragile relationship between wildlife and human development.
