This print series interrogates how the human gaze imposes artificial constraints on nature—devising borders, exploiting natural resources, and leveling natural landscapes. The series serves as a broader commentary on mankind’s corrosive impacts on the earth driven by consumerism and capitalism. The works also highlight the artificiality of modern human-made geographies, exhibiting their incompatibility with the softer contours of nature. The disembodied human eye present in many pieces symbolizes the human gaze driven by profit, the embodiment of colonial and capitalist Western ideologies. These works seek to not only highlight mankind’s role in the destruction of nature but also how nature’s deterioration threatens our own existence.  The dark foreboding quality of these works underscores this concern, symbolizing the imminent repercussions of climate change if pollution and deforestation persist.
