“[The warm pink] is emblematic of my intensified connection to the natural world and simultaneously connotes a sense of my ‘otherness’ as a queer person,” David Benjamin Sherry says. “Dramatic color is a way to entice viewers and also aid them in thinking about landscape differently…We are losing our deep connection to the natural world and hastening our own demise in the destruction of places like Bears Ears. My aim with these pictures is to raise awareness about the fight for the reclamation of this National Monument and others being threatened.”
