As a society we try to dissociate ourselves from nature.
We tear it down, put up walls, and trim it to tailored skeletons of something
that used to be wild. At times the closest we have to a forest is a single tree
in our backyard. We forget so easily all the benefits received from nature.
With this piece I wanted to make the viewer see what
they’re missing out on in nature. This is not a bug you can dismiss with the
bottom of your shoe. We shouldn’t need something to hit us back in order for us
to know what we’re doing is wrong. A bug this size is not to be ignored, a lot
like the devastation already done to our planet. We all need to start seeing
the value of nature and maybe it will become easier to see the importance of
preserving the environment.
