This project harnesses the organic power and beauty of nature as a way for people to be interconnected with the natural world. To move to a more sustainable future, where both humans and nature are able to thrive, humans are must reconnect with their natural roots and environment. Roots, vines, leaves, and other biological derived materials are preserved in their original state creating organic, surreal coverings of the body. People must move to dissolve their egos, dissolve the hierarchy they believe they have over nature. A future is proposed where the products of Mother Earth, including humans, are all able to coexist in a peaceful harmony.
People often think they have control over nature. This piece contrasts that notion as it is transformed by the forces of nature, decaying on it's own timeline.
