Echoes of Nature explores the profound human impact on the environment, addressing pressing issues such as biodiversity loss and climate change. The project began with a Polaroid photograph of a landscape, serving as both a visual and conceptual foundation. To emphasize the fragility of these environments, I introduced mold spores collected from the same location onto the Polaroid, allowing the spores to gradually consume and transform the image. A time-lapse video captures this week-long process of decay, condensing it into two minutes, accompanied by the sound of an alarm—slowed down to underscore the urgency of our environmental crisis. Echoes of Nature serves as both a reflection and a call to action, reminding us of the delicate balance we are disrupting and urging collective responsibility to protect and restore our planet for a sustainable future.
