Innately wired to make marks on one another, humans and their landscapes constantly change to adapt to the world around them. The natural beauty of the earth is a common agreement among several cultures, communities and societies, connecting people through celebration, creation and provision. All civilizations are different and create imprints on this world, but every group can be tied back to the fact that they mirror the ground they stand on. Using an excess of materials, such as paint, glitter, clothing and foam, by drawing inspiration from topographical maps, I hoped to convey how each unique culture is brought together through God’s creation. Constructing certain narratives by combining specific mediums, I wished to show this deeply rooted connection within us humans since the Genesis.
