The Cost Of A Footprint
The Cost Of Control
Toxic Runoff
The Effects of Control explores humanity's desire to dominate and reshape the natural world for its own benefit. The landscape appears to be physically burning away, revealing the consequences of environmental exploitation and the fragile relationship between human progress and nature. The fire does not simply destroy the image; it symbolises the gradual erosion of ecosystems through industrial expansion, resource extraction, and unsustainable consumption. What remains is a reminder that the control we seek over nature often results in irreversible damage to the very environments we depend upon.
Toxic Runoff reflects the often unseen impact of human industry on both urban environments and natural ecosystems. The dark textures and intrusive purple contamination spread across the image like pollutants seeping through water systems, soil, and communities. By combining an industrial landscape with visual corruption and decay, the piece highlights how environmental damage frequently exists beneath the surface of modern development, hidden from everyday view but impossible to ignore once exposed. The work questions the true cost of industrial growth and the legacy it leaves behind.
When Nature Wears Our Trash
When Nature Wears Our Trash explores the permanence of human waste within natural environments. The translucent plastic, imposed onto the landscape like a second skin, symbolises the way pollution has become embedded within ecosystems that once existed independently of human influence. Rather than existing alongside nature, our waste has become part of it, altering landscapes and disrupting the delicate balance between human activity and the environment. The work asks viewers to consider whether future generations will inherit nature itself, or simply the remnants of our consumption.
The Tree's Memory
The Tree's Memory reflects on the stories held within the natural world and the lasting impact of human intervention upon it. The visible tree rings, traditionally used to record age and environmental conditions, become a metaphor for memory, preserving evidence of growth, change, and survival over time. By placing the landscape within the cross-section of a felled tree, the image highlights the contradiction of destroying nature in order to understand it, while questioning what is lost when these living records disappear. The piece serves as both a memorial to what has been removed and a reminder that nature remembers the marks we leave behind.
