Statement
Tasmania is a harsh place. Home to some of the most Majestic Species on the Planet, they tower above a desperate landscape dominated by despair and destruction.
For those brave (and stupid) enough to step outside the comfort zone and stand up for these species, it is a complex relationship with the wild.
