My closeness and respect for people has diminished over time.
See Photographer's Statement below for an explanation of this project.
My closeness and respect for people has diminished over time. Except for a handful of people, I am moving away from people. My understanding of creation and existence is not limited to the human species and human problems. To me, the world is defined by all living beings and the creatures and nature of the ecosystem. Invasion and encroachment on the privacy of other animal species and their habitats under various pretexts, even selfish manipulation of animal genetics, will leave unfortunate consequences for future generations. It reduces my respect for people. The dominant vision of human religions and ideologies has led people to accept the false belief that all creation is for humans and designed to serve humans. With this assumption, humans are encroaching more and more on the privacy of nature and other living beings every day. They want more and more and are destroying the planet by increasing their population and destroying the ecosystem. Settlements and encroachments on the privacy of wildlife areas are causing the extinction of countless plant and animal species. The increasing life expectancy of humans and their desire for greater prosperity, with all its destructive aspects, show me a different image of them. That is, it shows human intelligence and talent as more destructive and useless than other living beings.
Daily news about deforestation, global warming, war, etc. does not change the situation of most people. The principles of wanting more and selfishness of the human species are insatiable throughout its short life.
We consider living well and reproducing as our indispensable and mandatory right. We, humans, who are aware of all the anomalies and negative consequences of population growth, continue to advance and destroy nature.
This collection does not aim to show the effects and consequences of these anomalies, but to remind us of the tragedy and dark future of forgetful and totalitarian people. Images of the achievements of narcissistic and indifferent people who destroyed the only habitable planet with their arrogance.
I wish we had taken better care of this planet instead of looking for other habitable planets by paying great prices. And we accept that we are not the only inhabitants of this planet and that the Earth is home to all living and non-living beings. Please protect our world, let's protect it here by spending what we spend on other planets.
