Here is a photo of a saola in captivity... the animal only lived for 18 days. There have been no recorded sightings of a Saola since 1992.
We tried many mediums to create a product for the Saola project and finally settled on a shadow box that reinforced the quiet ones message. I made felt animals and painted fabric scenes with pockets for the endangered animals but I was unhappy with each process. I needed to create a dark protected habitat for the Saola and its fellow endangered animals in the mountain forests. I finally decided that a shadow box would be the perfect way of telling the Saola story and the endangered quiet ones living in the forests of the Annamite mountains.
