— How Soon Is Now?
What are human beings feeling in the face of a changing environment?
The Earth and humanity are inextricably entwined, and a balanced relationship with it is crucial to our physical and emotional well-being. Any disruption in this relationship can cause negative emotions leading to frustration which may also lead to higher pollution on our part.
Many people have a difficult time accepting that human activity is affecting the entire Earth’s ecosystems, and end up experiencing complicated feelings in regards to this. These feelings have even given way to a new field of psychology that emerged from the hybridization between ecology and psychology: Eco-Psychology.
This conceptual photo-project depicts a world in which humanity can't be separated from the environment and vice-versa and it raises the question whether these images are showing us today's world, or perhaps a world in the far future, where the only human presence left in the planet is the non-biodegradable materials we left behind.
The series identifies the collective paradox of being aware of the environmental asphyxia that plastic waste creates, yet being massively dependent on this material as a society.
