The earth does not seem to matter to me immediately, and that is a problem. Like many people I have a false sense of being independant of the ground I tread and live on.
Even while the earth is being drained and leeched, the air and water poisoned, there is an illusion that we can still live healthily somehow.
What I mean is that it takes a constant effort on my part to realize the immediacy of human and my responsibility to Earth.
All my work is aimed firstly at sensitizing myself, at becoming aware of what constitutes the elementary basics of human existence and secondly augmenting gained awareness into a display that can resonate in others.
Perceptions should change in a way that brings deep understanding and appreciation of the interconnectedness of self, others and the environment. Basically, we will need to learn how to make our actions intrinsically non-violent in every regard. This change must be drastic, wise, efficient, and all-encompassing.
It is difficult to conceive of an image or sound that would have this transforming effect on human-kind, but that conceiving of such an image or sound is my daily practice.
