An evocative, abstract illustration in green, deep blue, red, beige, white and black of illustrated birds suffering from exposure to light pollution and spilled oil. Some of the birds have blotches of chemical pollution (symbolized in a pinkish-red hue) in their stomachs and some are caught in black spilled oil. Several spread their oil-covered wings out as oil drips off them. Others try to fly away out of the oil, or are positioned flying or standing more healthfully and successfully at a remove from it.
3. Historians can mobilize to begin to heal the wounds that artificial light inflicts on humans and animals.
We can move beyond historical celebrations of urban lighting systems’ #brilliance to recognize & mediate the extents of their historical& ongoing #brutalities, by adopting a #birds-eye view.
