Environmentalism

Environmentalism has become a cliché, a hippie lifestyle, or catchphrase for profit leveraging. We talk about the environment as something to balance with the social and economic sectors of society, as if it were all equal. We talk about it as something we can distance ourselves from. Our separate, sterile, homes convince us that we are safe. The wild is out there and we are in here. Ironically, we were never separate from the wild, it is in us and it is us. Though we try to clean it off, our bodies depend on bacteria to live. We try to purify our air, but plants will always do a better job. We are born from the earth and will always return to it. I truly believe that to solve any problem in the world we must first start with supporting that which supports us: the environment, Mother Earth, Eden. My digital artwork illustrates this complex relationship we have with nature.
