About
the Design
"Extinction?" is a product of Pantalone's work with children
as an art teacher and of his life as a world traveler. Utilizing
an extinct species, the dinosaur, as a base, he has depicted
a multitude of species who are being threatened with the same
fate in the near future. Intended as a piece to which families
with young children would be drawn, the graphic style and
the interlocking design are intended to provoke discussion
about how elements of nature are intertwined—when one
element is missing, all others are affected. The tear that
falls from the eye of the dinosaur represents its species
and the many others which have followed. While the piece appears
to take a light-hearted approach, the message behind it is
very serious.
Life is very fragile—we must protect it.
