Reflection for Sculpture #1

The Sculpture entitled Mother Nature before Human Touch was inspired by the idea of humanity’s power over our climate. The connection between both of the sculptures is humans and nature. The first sculpture number 1 is more of a direct reference to climate change in the environment. 

The sculpture entitled Mother Nature After Human Touch was inspired by the effects of urbanization in our world. My intent was to visually communicate the idea of time passing between each sculpture, where the effects of humanity dangerously affected our society and earth. I wanted to focus on the change between the two sculptures because it was meant to visually resemble the change before and after we chose to effect the climate. I want to keep exploring the possibility’s of presenting these effects of climate change and urbanization to a larger audience and to influence people, to realize this is a serious problem. This piece allows me to explore the many different materials and compositions of what artwork that shares a message.
