In this painting, the intense colors of a rare and deceptive bird peek through an old tire—as if the natural world seeks to break through layers of waste, industry, and pollution.
 This work is a great example of the combination of plastic art, environmental awareness, and social criticism.
 Israeli artist Evelyn (Evi) Anke uses waste materials to revive creatures that are endangered by human activity - and to ask a poignant question: Do we just observe beauty, or do we act to preserve it?

 The red-headed hornbill is a species of tropical bird in the hornbill family, found in the rainforests of Southeast Asia: Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo, etc. In fact, it is considered one of the most prominent symbols of the Asian rainforests.
 Along with a wide variety of animals, it is in danger due to habitat destruction and deforestation, with one of the most prominent reasons for this being the construction of roads for the purpose of exploiting natural resources and providing convenient access for us, humans.

 In Anka's work, the use of a tire as a frame sharpens the gap between the beauty of nature and the human threat to it - and it brings the viewer to reconsider his role as a guardian and not just an observer.

 The work is being sold as part of the " Artists for Marine Mammals " project, the proceeds of which will be transferred to the continued protection of marine mammals in Israel and educational activities at the Dolphin and Sea Center of the Delfis Association, in Ashdod.
