Photographer Julie A. McConnell embeds disturbing,
surreal images within apparently benign photographs
of people in ordinary situations. These hybrid images
and composites compel us to ask ourselves whether
we consider all species equally, and to examine the
implicit denial in our relationship to non-human beings.
Finally she challenges us to focus on our exploitation
and displacement of animals and to use the creative
potential of human thought to find a solution.
