Tina Alberni
Alberni is a semi-abstract, phygital artist. Layers of ideas, shapes, vibrant colors and symbolism coalesce in response to present day global imbalances.
MessageCreating awareness of the plights of red-cockaded woodpeckers, which are endangered.
The shapes inside the figure connote external influences that take over their lives and natural habitats.
These creatures are losing their live pine habitats to extensive urbanization, so they cannot nest or roost.
This species relies on low-intensity burns through the undergrowth of the longleaf pine forest. They create thousands of nesting cavities in trees, which all manner of animals compete to occupy after the bird abandons them.
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the red-cockaded woodpecker is endangered. While they are federally protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and conservation measures are in place, the constant loss of habitat (clear-cutting and forest fragmentation) is causing a steady decline. It is estimated that there are 14–15 thousand people living across 11 southern states.
