‘THE ASCENT OF OUR DESCENT’ – imagining the effect our actions have on our environment

Just imagine what would happen if we continue like we do, and the sea levels rise.

 Just imagine our coasts and their cities, whole islands and island nations, flooded. And with them ecosystems, entire species of plants and animals, in risk of endangerment when the ocean is claiming victims. It takes so little. Less than I personally had imagined. And it’s the result of our human-induced climate change. We are causing this risk. Isn’t it time for more of a global consequence thinking? We are all placed on this small planet. We only have the one. It’s about the choices we make today. We can not postpone acting.


‘The ascent of our descent – I’ and ‘The ascent of our descent – II’ are highly connected to the reflection about our environmental paradox I created in ‘The incongruity’. They are all part of my series ‘Parallels’ and can be VIEWED IN FULL SIZE ON MY ART PORTFOLIO SITE.

‘THE INCONGRUITY’ – a reflection about our environmental paradox

‘THE INCONGRUITY’ – a reflection about our environmental paradox

It hits me all the time.

It hits me when I’m in the forest and see that shiny container sticking out from the green moss. Or when at the seaside and that garbage bag is waving back and forth between the sand and the water. Back and forth. Back and forth…

Like that plastic, glass, or metal ever would decompose.

It strikes me all the time. The incompatibility between our ways of consumption and our will to live environmentally friendly. The way we are using up our Earth’s resources even though we all know that our way of living is utterly unsustainable. I know it. You know it. Yet we all still together don’t do enough to change it. Not. Enough. We should not fool ourselves. Only we can change it. We all live with it. Act on it. Dress in it. The environmental paradox. The incongruity.


‘The incongruity’ is part of my series ‘Parallels’ and can be VIEWED IN FULL SIZE HERE
