Description
How do humans alter natural landscapes positively or negatively? This piece focused on the altercation of natural landscapes in our world. By working and experimenting with different cyanotype techniques, I was able to highlight the dramatic contrasts and tones in my imagery, provoking emotions linked to humans’ effects on our environment. While many think humans only harm our planet, the cool blue tones show a calm and peaceful balance humans can have when taking and/or interacting with our environment. If humans don’t understand the balance needed to create harmony with our environment, we will harm the world around us. Through this project, I found that humans can have a relationship with taking and giving from the planet, but we have to balance ourselves and not take too much, or we will harm the earth. My work explores how every person has their own unique experiences in engaging with the land.
