The original image (from All Animals magazine, July/August 2016) depicts a mother bear
crossing a road with her three small cubs. In the background, pickup trucks are
waiting for them to cross. The caption explains that some months later, one of
the cubs was hit by a car, and another was not seen again. Humans are
encroaching on the bears’ natural habitat—to the detriment of the animals. My
remix is designed to draw attention to the problem by exchanging the roles of
the humans and the bears. Perhaps if we put ourselves in their place, as mothers
with our children, facing a real threat, we can feel the bears' plight more deeply.
