“Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night;” sounds the timeless William Blake poem as we witness a grand tigress flying out of the deep foliage. What might be a forest fire blazes in the distant background. Is she fleeing a flaming woodland or in fiery pursuit of her prey? Are those cinders, or fireflies, or otherworldly orbs guiding her to safety? This statement piece confronts us with the magical worlds that are altered when natural environments are destroyed. “What immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?”
