"Captive" is a photo series documenting zoo animals in their unnatural environment. It is not about the animals, but rather, it documents what can happen when humans use animals for display and entertainment. Many zoos need to be commended for their efforts to provide adequate habitats for their animals, but even in the best of zoos, there always are animals who never see daylight, only see vegetation if it is painted on the walls, or live in enclosures which are too tight for their needs.
