Reflection

Reflection

Our current urban life is busy and tense. We are separated from nature both physically and mentally. With limited earth resources, we must consider the existence of more lives. I made different sketches, observing from the perspective of the city, thinking about how to improve urban development, but lacked artistic expression. So I changed to look at the world from the perspective of nature. Humans cannot think of themselves as masters. When we look at it from the perspective of animals, urban development is contradictory, and we need to reflect on it. I chose the ecosystem of the tropical rainforest to show the vigorous scene. The animals hiding in the dense forest seem to be safe, but their frightened eyes stare at us outside the picture, as if they are facing urgency and helplessness, because behind them, the concrete city of human beings is pressing step by step and extending into the jungle. Road and vines intertwined and this interweaving is frightening, and it also brings us a topic, how to maintain the balance between the development of human communities and the health of natural ecology? Through the eyes of wild animals in the jungle, we see the impact of cities on the natural ecology. The worried eyes of animals remind humans to reflect on their own lives, step out of their own world, and look at the harmonious development of the global biological system. I chose markers as the medium of expression because of their rich color combinations and flexible expressiveness.
