This installation is based on an integration of the human, natural and artificial world. The installation aims to display how the human perspective within nature is inferior compared to Mother Nature herself. Methods of establishing ecological balance are above anything we as humans can truly understand due to our own lack of intuition with regard to the natural world around us. Inspired by cyclical geological processes such as ecological succession has fuelled the conceptualisation and composition of this immersive installation. This installation aimed to challenge the audiences mind to find balance in a space where the visual stimulus is constantly moving and changing.

“Raw footage exists as the human outlook on the nature around us. Point clouds act as the medium for Mother Nature’s existence and presence in this world. Generative images from prompts are the artificial representation in defiance of humanity’s ignorance surrounding Mother Nature’s strength.” - Quote from dissertation essay
