Into the void

Petronilla, female orangutan. She was born in 1970 (she's older than me) and has 2 daughters, Zoe and Martina. She "lives" (is that a true life?) at the Bioparco, Rome, Italy. I spend some time looking at her from the glass of her cage, she was lying on the floor and her hand was inspecting the straws, till she found a small piece of rope, and the she lifted and sank onto a log, with her right hand inspecting again some straws. I chose this pic from the various of her I've shot because i think this one can pass down to the viewer the hardness of her condition, caged, deprived of freedom, without the stirring she would find in her natural environment. After so many years caged, she's used at this horrible condition, but I can perceive at least some of her feelings and I hope the viewers will be able to get a glimpse of this by this (not perfect) pic.

    Ciò che scrivi si trasferisce pienamente al mio pensiero.
    Quale malinconia un animale in gabbia.....
    La tua foto è triste ma molto bella ......
