The original image was an advertisement for a new reality show about Jockeys. The heading at the top of the page states, "Win or Die Trying." The advertisement startled me because it advocates competition to the point of death. It also advocates keeping horses from their wild natural habitat and way of life. I am not against horse riding, but I do think there is a limit to how much we use animals for our own enjoyment - including hunting, for food, and for money. For these reasons I decided to transform this image into one that was in support of nature untouched, providing a voice of advocacy for keeping the wild wild and not controlling it for our personal, often greedy, wishes.
