Our relationship: We are part of universe

Project Description
In 2020, a series of global disasters led me to reflect deeply on the relationship between humanity, nature, and the universe. These events stirred a profound awareness of the interconnectedness of all living things, yet also highlighted the discord between human actions and the natural world. Many theories suggest that we are intrinsically connected to every animal and plant, yet we often harm both nature and each other.
This reflection inspired a project that explores the intricate bond between humanity and nature through a unique set of typefaces, motion posters, and clay sculptures. The typefaces are designed by merging organic forms with human elements, symbolizing the deep, intrinsic ties we share with the natural world. The motion posters breathe life into these typefaces, portraying the dynamic, ever-changing relationship between humans and nature, while the clay sculptures offer a tactile, three-dimensional interpretation of this connection.
Through this project, I hope to provoke thought and inspire others to reflect on the interdependence of all living things, suggesting that our treatment of nature is ultimately a reflection of how we treat ourselves.
