“Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” Genesis 1:26.

In I Would Hurt a Fly, Weinberg explores humans’ desire to interact with non-human animals and the myriad forms that these relationships take. These photographs confront the risks and responsibilities of human-animal relationships, questioning why we keep pets, hunt, and memorialize animals.
