Humanity & Nature
This short film is an exploration of a simple question: what is the relationship between humanity and nature? I chose to explore this idea because it intimidated me, because I did not know where to begin. The process of researching was daunting yet exciting, I felt my understanding of the relationship get a bit sharper with each post-it I put on my wall. The final product is a synthesis of my understanding, a look at the web of meaning I created. My hope is that the story of our relationship to nature is told, that humanity’s macro actions and micro intimacies are illustrated.
