Entropy of the World

Artist Statment

As an artist, I show how nature and mankind interact and coexist, no matter the scale of the interaction. I will shine a light on how we, as humans, no matter how hard we try, are still part of the natural world. Even when we are surrounded by buildings and everything that humanity has made to disconnect from the natural world. That plants and animals are going to be ever-present in our lives because of the chaos that life inherently is. Following that chaos, I wander my surroundings to find the human world decaying and falling victim to entropy, transforming from the order humans try to enforce on the world to the controlled chaos that the natural world thrives on.
