Human and Nature

Humans often think of themselves as the center of all life on Earth, while other living beings such as trees, animals on land, and creatures in the sea are positioned as passive objects ready to be exploited. Over the past few decades, human civilization has focused on economic and capital growth, driving massive exploitation across many sectors—mining, illegal logging, plastic waste pollution—creating an imbalance in nature.

Human imagination is unconsciously always connected to nature. For example, trends in the fashion world often use animal fur and skin motifs as materials and sources of inspiration. Similarly, when we talk about philosophy, there is a recurring question that uses the analogy of the chicken and the egg: which came first? These are the kinds of things I try to observe and narrate—how the relationship between humans and nature is deeply intertwined and can be discussed from many different perspectives.
