This series represents the earth's response to human actions and the mistreatment of the planet. I touch on environmental concerns that I notice while having lived in both the city and the country. I travel to photograph meaningful and relatable sites for my audience to experience the concept of the Anthropocene, the oncoming and possible current era our planet. These images are then collaged together and turned into photolithographs. The idea is to spark the same response in my viewers that it has done for me while photographing sites, drafting ideas, and researching. The imagery can be looked at as a mix of past, current, and future events that everyone, including plants and animals, are dealing with. This world needs healing. We are the problem we can either live with it, or we can help change it.
