Challenging the conventional notion of humans as nature's protectors, a proposal is made to shift the focus onto nature as an active participant in negotiation. Despite the intricate connections between ecosystems and humans, the lack of cooperation disrupts the natural energy cycle, leading to a metabolic rift. This mixed-media printmaking artwork reveals the hidden beauty of sustainable ecosystems overshadowed by destructive human activities driven by profit-centric perspectives. Exploring energy interactions in diverse ecological realms underscores their interdependence.
Depicting the lithosphere, pedosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere aims to showcase the intricate complexity of ecosystems, emphasizing that nature isn't a passive entity controlled by humans but a dynamic force with which we closely engage.
