For her series “Behind Glass,” Anne Berry photographs primates through the glass separation barrier:
“They’re looking at us like we’re looking at them,” Berry said.
Her title not only means the obvious, that the animals are behind enclosure windows, but also draws a metaphor to how humans separate themselves from nature. People like to observe the natural world but want to segregate wild animals in contained preservations or zoos.
“I want people to say, what are we doing to the habitats?” Berry said.
