Demarcation

Everything alive exists in harmony with nature. Erich Fromm wrote that human consciousness, mind and imagination destroyed ‘harmony’ that was essential to the primal existence. Because of having them humankind became freak of nature. A man is at the same time a part of nature and above it so they always remain homeless

At birth a man is one of the most helpless creatures in the world and they need help for a long time, but even then they can change nature and bring it under control. Nature has become dependent on human’s activity but a human is still utterly helpless in the face of it. My project reflects my thoughts about ambiguity of relationship between man and nature and my attempts to find the line of demarcation separating us. I am observing my interaction with nature, my state of watching it along with feeling vulnerable.
