Description:
In nature, I draw inspiration and especially learn the will to life of trees. I observe trees for quite some time, and many times I think that the bark resembles human skin. When I look at the bark, I feel like I can see human traces. I want to show the similarity between nature and humans through the connection of these two skin types. The freedom and creativity of art give new inspiration to the audience. Art is not the role of determining answers, but rather of asking questions and raising awareness. Through art, I do ask questions about human prejudice, ignorance, and extreme thinking and suggest different directions. It is not only a human perspective on nature but also connected in various ways, such as the relationship between humans, wealth, poverty, and racism. Ecological perspectives are needed to create a green Earth and an eco-friendly world, but before that, we should try to learn facts and not create prejudice from ignorance. Looking at the world through facts will also have a great impact on our attitude toward nature. I can say weed as a short story. Weed is the name of the human point of view and has a negative and unifying meaning. However, weeds are our ignorance and can be seen as ignoring their respective names and personalities. I think these attitudes and answers can be found in ecological perspectives and nature.
