Filiation
The author of this photo project wants to highlight the relationship of humankind with its negative and self destructive acts on earth, which have been systemic and prolonged. The mass production of synthetic materials is polluting our environment and has a negative impact on nature. Our destructive actions affect our future, the future of nature, and the future of the earth. By displaying photographs of common illnesses that are known to humankind, along with the archive photos of the planet earth taken from the space station, the author is making a resonating comparison of the catastrophic weather anomalies on planet earth and humankind, capturing the similarities and visual scope between those. The author wants to make the point that nature on planet earth and humankind is very much alike. Earth does not protest for humankind to be decimated. It’s human action and its negative impact it has on planet earth that is so disobediently ignored by humans, which has a devastating effect on earth and the most unique and very complex eco-system known to us. In this very fast, progressive and driven world, where consumptionism is well established, we are using more synthetic materials than ever before, which are not environmentally friendly and are not used in harmony with nature and the eco-system, in which we are eventually becoming the victims of, or suffering from a number of civilisations illnesses. One can say that nature rejects from her circulation something that does not fit into her rhythm and emphasized it by illness and death, as well as increasingly frequent weather anomalies and natural disasters for which humanity is largely responsible. Same how the Earth responds with cataclysms to human activity, so do our cells, which they are part of nature, they rebel and cause diseases that often fight us by trying to get rid of chemistry from the body, striving for homeostasis. Photos satellite projected on the body present human activity and its effects. These include fires, hurricanes, tree felling, melting glaciers, floods, or the largest tire storage site in the world. When juxtaposed with images of human illnesses, they symbolize a common effect that returns to humanity.
