I tried to document how the world moves without much of my own movement overshadowing it in an attempt to represent the idea of biodiversity not being connected or dependent on humans and their technology. Silently listening to the sounds of the wind, watching the sunset through the pines, and seeing the ice melt with this early thaw truly reiterated to me the importance of asking for nature’s voice to be heard.
So often environmental advocacy comes from a place of privilege that as well-intentioned as it is, overpowers both the people who depend on the land and the land itself. Nature itself and the relationships people foster with nature are in their essence simple. Every human on this planet is connected to the biodiversity of the world in some innate way and I think sustaining these ideas to this end benefits all the people the Earth itself sustains each day.
