Artists Statement
Throughout my time here in
college it has become more evident how terrible humans are to the earth. Humans
are constantly ruining the beautiful landscapes and cities throughout this
country because of our industrialization and just lack of respect for the
earth. I was influenced to do this project because I am from northwestern
Connecticut and all there is around me are farms and just houses with a lot of
land. I took the opportunity to travel and show all of the different ways that
humans are negatively impacting the earth. In this series of photographs I
explored; pollution through mass amounts of cars, littering, power lines and
factories industrializing beautiful landscapes or just being wasteful of space
by leaving abandon buildings and houses that are burnt out. This project made
me aware of how wasteful humans really are with all of the resources that we
have.
