Misdelivered Letter

2024-ongoing

Martha was the last known passenger pigeon, a species that went extinct in 1914. In the 18th century, their population was so large that it could darken the sky, but reckless hunting and slaughter led to a dramatic decline.
The Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio attempted to protect the species by housing a pair of pigeons, but the species became extinct after Martha’s death. I saw a parallel between this tragic extinction and the reckless abuse of the vulnerable.
