My Bloom installations focus on the relationship between nature and man-made infrastructure. Humans manipulate our surroundings to satisfy our desires. Our actions are often taken regardless of the consequences to our natural habitat. However, nature is always moving back toward balance. Completely remove the human element and nature flourishes, absorbing evidence of civilization into its earthly depths. My installations encourage the viewer to consider the way nature is always reclaiming man-made spaces. Earth has survived for billions of years and will continue to adapt. The question is how long will humans and our fellow species survive if we don’t prioritize harmony with nature?
