Miami is a tropical landscape as well as a bustling city.  Exotic plants and amazing animals coexist and clash with our everyday existence.  This daily duality of city and jungle goes unnoticed by the city’s human inhabitants, distracted by our own thoughts and tasks. Although we may not make note of these inconsequential observations, the visual and sensorial imprints of this underlying natural world linger in our subconscious minds. This series of “city animals” highlights some of the everyday dismissed disdained and disregarded co inhabitants of our living environments.
