Final Project- Critical Mass

For my final project I wanted to look at the relationship between humans and nature. How humans are constantly shaping and changing the world around them. While at the same time, nature is slowly continuing it’s never ending march to consume what we have done to it.

Project 3 Mapping

Humans domesticated animals thousands of years ago. Since that time, animals have been subjected to our whims, whether they are good or bad. It is often that these animals do not understand what we want from them, or why we are doing what we do. But nevertheless, there is little they can do against us. Disrupting nature by removing a cat’s ability to reproduce, going against her instinct by not allowing her to lick her wound, all for the idea that this will be better for her in the end. I wanted to show her confusion, map her experience as a direct result of a human will.

It took me a long while to arrive at the concept for my final image. Unfortunately, when I arrived at this idea I had already raised a few rounds of my bowl.
