About
Near the highways and the unstoppable soundtrack of roaring engines, Los Angeles sustains a universe of natural life, a testament both to its ancient roots and its contemporaneous bustling existence and constant movement forward, connecting the original occupiers of the land and its current dwellers and custodians. Life Cycles emerges from the meeting points of wild nature and urban life, parking lots and the dwindling river, bridges and hidden wildlife preserves, from ecological concerns and harsh environmental realities. Participating photographers trace animals in the air on the ground, botanical life, the shifts brought on by climate changes and the complicated relationships of our communities with our surroundings.
