Speak For Me ! (Eroded Origins)
Eroded Origins: Speak For Me! is a climate art initiative that transforms passive viewing into active advocacy. Designed to spark awareness and dialogue, the project explores the interconnectivity of ecosystems and humanity’s evolving role in preserving the planet. Rather than simply documenting environmental degradation, Eroded Origins invites audiences to reimagine their relationship with nature—emphasizing how deeply human actions and ecological systems are intertwined in shaping the horrible-beauty of Earth’s future.
