Alone together, we’ve come to invariably perceive nature through an anthropocentric lens.
​
Biomorphic forms twist in unnatural contortions, ignorant of their surroundings. The cocooned figures attempt communication within rings of dialogue—one readable, the other inverted and illegible. Echoing our fractured relationship with nature in the Anthropocene, these figures mirror our cognitive dissonance, shaped by the pedagogical influences that distort our perception and valuation of the natural world.
