My work results from my experience in my environment, responding to being human and the Anthropocene as an outsider. Through observation, I realized how disconnected we are from nature. In response to cultural travel choices, I came up with an artwork that expresses the mechanical dependence world, presenting the dull reality of the road through printing wheel traces into a paper. I also created an artwork that evident our harmful actions through collected plastic bag holders from my walking journey, expressing the traces we left behind as a representation of how far we have become destructive.
