Here I used two projectors to project images of my installation work with projections of images of people, busy society. I created this with the thoughts on how the world is getting smaller, with population increasing the world is losing more wilderness spaces. This makes me question what will happen to creativity as this problem increases, will people become less creative as nature slowly diminishes? In my case, this is what scares me.
Below are some quotes from well known people of our world, who describe the significance of the wilderness to our existence.
“There is a delight in the hardy life of the open. There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy and its charm. The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased and not impaired in value. Conservation means development as much as It does protection.” – Theodore Roosevelt. President of the United States.
“And this, our life exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.” “One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.” – William Shakespeare.
“Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.” – Sir John Lubbock. Vice chancellor, University of London.
