Acid Reign

Two young souls look upon each other as curious species in an effort to appreciate and understand the consequence of preserving the fragile balance between progress and nature. The young girl behind the glass wonders how anyone might endure such a toxic and dystopian existence while her counterpart imagines the pleasure of a life unencumbered by waste suits and the constant fear of her environment. The image highlights the fundamental difference between living and existing and asks that we contemplate just what it is we are doing to the world around us, and how our actions—large or small, good or bad—will either preserve and expand the happiness and bounty of our lives, or constrict it by hastening our mortality, and that of every other living thing on the planet.
