Appreciation towards Brad Wilson for providing the following description:

人类在这个世界存在多久，与周边自然环境的关系就变化了多久。动物与人类的关系在朋友，敌人，上帝，食物之间不断转换，在某些特定的文化和地域背景下，这些关系又同时存在。因为拥有共同的历史，人与动物的命运将永远紧密联系在一起。

在进行这项拍摄工作时，一个被人类抛弃的，一个本能的，直觉的，有自然意识的，一个区别于周围高速增长的城市化和数字化的景观世界立刻浮现在摄影师脑中。在人类文明进步和科技日渐发达的今天，动物仍然保持最原始的生活状态。这些图片也许恰好可以证明这些被遗忘的世界，并提醒我们，人类不是孤立存在于世界上的，我们只是这个美丽富饶，充满多样化，各种生命相互交织的世界的一部分。

For as long as humans have been on this planet, we have had a remarkably complex and constantly changing relationship with the wildlife around us. At times, animals have been our allies, our enemies, our gods, and our food. Often these roles have existed simultaneously across many different cultures and continents. Our destinies have been, and will continue to be, inexorably linked. Perhaps this long shared history is one significant element of the powerful affinity we feel for them.

While working with the many animals involved in the project I was immediately reminded of a world that we, as humans, have largely abandoned – a place of instinct, intuition, and present moment awareness – a fully natural world, distinct from the increasingly urbanized and digitized landscape that surrounds us. In the midst of our modern human civilization with all its technological complexities, animals still remain stark symbols of a simpler life and a wilderness lost. Perhaps these images can stand as a testament to this other fading world, and remind us, despite the pronounced feeling of isolation that too often characterizes our contemporary existence, that we are not alone, we are not separate – we are part of a beautifully rich and interconnected diversity of life.
