Works on Nature


Referring to my last post, I've started looking at works which show in different ways how nature will reclaim the earth eventually. I used search terms such as 'human arrogance in art' and 'nature reclaiming' to come up with some results. 

The picture above was something very interesting, and something I found by accident. It is from a collection of sculptures by a Japanese sculptor called Ishibashi Yui. This collection is all based on a human-hybrid concept, and I personally think it is very interesting and relevant to my project. 

Also, I remembered a documentary I had seen a while ago on TV about nature reclaiming the earth if humans just suddenly disappeared. It's a History Channel documentary series called 'Life After People' and handles the biological changes that our man made world would undergo:


The first episode.

It's an interesting idea, and looks at how our world will decay after we have gone, and demonstrates how we don't in fact rule the planet.
