Pet Paradise and Some Plants 2019, explores where non-human care meest with commercial and hobbyist aesthetics and practices. With the supplementary text Is It Safe? 2019, the space is meant to question what is a safe existence in the anthropocene for a non-human? If the entire planet has been rendered toxic or altered uninhabitable maybe human care is all some species have left. Is all human care equitable? Do the non-humans want this type of existence? Cataloged on shelves, bred, bought, traded, and sold. Kept alive until interest or investment fail.
