Snared is a memorial to the suffering I see around me. By using the electroforming technique, I have encapsulated deadly jimsonweed seed pods and transformed them to something harmless and bright. This symbolizes my wish to rid humanity of its toxicity so that we all experience equality, safety, peace, prosperity, and hope.
