About the Item

"Lulu" is a beautiful contemporary sculpture created by the Canadian artist Yulia Shtern. Her work depicts beautifully decaying remnants of species on our planet that are currently endangered. Shtern utilizes common household materials such as produce netting and colored cardboards in her up-cycled process to authenticate her message. An unfortunate truth of our current society that is often forgotten. Shtern creates these beautiful pieces to draw the viewer in and force them to engage with reality head-on. This work is eye-catching with a delicate texture and vibrant colors and would brighten up any room. Artist's Inspiration: "Saudi Gazelle was native to the northern and western parts of the Arabian peninsula, preferring rocky habitats with shrubs and acacia trees. It lived alongside Mountain Gazelle and Arabian Sand Gazelle. The populations of these other two gazelle species of the Arabian peninsula have been severely diminished over the last few decades, and they both are classified as vulnerable. Gazelles were some of the most frequently depicted animals in the Neolithic art of the region. Previously Saudi gazelle was thought to be a subspecies of Dorcas gazelle; however genetic research had confirmed them to be a separate and evolutionary significant species. Unfortunately this finding did not result in better conservation efforts and did not prevent their extinction. Saudi Gazelle has been declared extinct in 2008 due to over hunting and habitat degradation, but has likely disappeared at least a decade prior. Currently there is a number of programs for both Mountain and Arabian Sand gazelles focused on captive breeding and their reintroduction into the environment. Unfortunately nothing similar can be done for the Saudi gazelle as no pure individuals are known to have survived in captivity. Conservation status: extinct. Cause of extinction: excessive hunting by humans, habitat loss. This piece is called Lula after a common girl's name from the region. Its meaning in Arabic is 'pearl'." We will ship this via standard parcel boxed with internal support to maintain the piece's integrity. The work will be fully insured during shipping.
