Webb captures not only the animal in is urban habitat, but the reflection of onlookers as they try to get a little bit closer, creating a richly layered image where the captive animals equally captivate their audience, who peer into the glass with complex and sometimes contradictory emotions: wonderment, concern, delight, empathy, humor, sadness, protectiveness. Her photographs convey both a sense of connection and isolation, intimacy and distance.
“Ultimately, I feel fortunate to share the planet with such marvelous creatures,” says Webb. “Yet, the question still lingers: For how much longer?”
