The bison and the snow

An estimated 20 to 30 million bison once dominated the North American landscape from the Appalachians to the Rockies, from the Gulf Coast to Alaska. Habitat loss and unregulated shooting reduced the population to just 1,091 by 1889. Today, approximately 500,000 bison live across North America, mainly raised for their meat. Fewer than 30,000 wild bison are in conservation herds and fewer than 5,000 are unfenced and disease-free.

I felt a deep harmony between the bison and the landscape and tried to transpose it in this image.
