With her crêpe paper sculptures of insects, Tina Kraus aims to draw attention to the species that are often disregarded. Worldwide natural habitats for animals are declining while pollution and climate change put further pressure on ecosystems. Because of that, the world is facing a severe loss of biodiversity. Through her work, Tina aims to make people realise that even the smallest life on our planet is worth protecting.
