NESTING WITH THE OTHER

Master's Body of Work

The Anthropocene is a proposed geological time period on Earth showcasing the immense human impact on Earth’s ecosystems and geology, as well as the rapid increase of biological extinction rates. Our environment has been permanently changed worldwide because of human behaviour, which constantly reconfigures the biological trajectory of Earth. It is crucial to understand the extent of human destruction to Earth, and to create deep connections with Nature. Thus, my aim is to use the termite nest as a framework for my creative process where deeper human and ecological connections are created. Jewellery plays an important role as my chosen medium to magnify the unseen creatures in our environment. Through this microscopic view of invisible beings of earth, the Anthropocentric period and its’ devastation is highlighted. Jewellery then acts as the medium that communicates multiple stories, which creates alternative ways of understanding and experiencing Nature.
