Ronaldo Ruiz: In my “Camouflage Projects”, I try to adapt myself like endangered species in a habitat. Being visible in a red suit yet making an effort to blend into the horizon, mimicking nearby objects as a way of protection, fully aware of being visually distinct all the time. The action/project is a representation of a species population that has a habitat, or an assemblage of many species living together in the same place sharing a habitat.
 
I feel that it is an imperative role of an artist to show and educate people of the world, and so I am trying to do this through my Camouflage Project performances. I would like to carry the message to as much people as I can that habitat destruction is one of the major factors that cause decrease in species population, eventually leading to its being endangered, or even its extinction. Large scale land clearing and clear- cut logging activities eventually result into the removal of native vegetation and habitat destruction. Along with bushfires and poor fire management, pest and weed invasion, cyclone and storm damage, the habitat for creatures all over the world are being decimated, and this destruction is cause for heightened alarm especially for humans, because consequently we will be the ones affected.
