 ''The Black Series''

 Organic

 

‘’The Black Series’’, is a glimpse of the human and environmental turmoil in the world today.

I explore the powerful creative and destructive forces at large, the dualities that govern mankind, life on Earth, as well as who or what is liable for the onset of universal chaos and the current global economic shocks. I look deep into the dark beast that drives mankind to live in the often unpredictable and volatile shadows where his future in this increasingly hostile environment is compromised.

 

“We’re all in a race; a battle between two forces: degradation and restoration. Who will win? We don’t know.” (Hubert Reeves, Astrophysicist)

 

The ‘’Organic’’ component questions our troubled relationship with the environment in this time of over-exploitation of non-renewable resources and our thirst for oil.

 

“The discovery of oil can be described as both a blessing and a curse. This once cheap and plentiful energy source has driven huge economic expansion and increased living standards over the last 100 years. But its use has also had devastating environmental consequences.”
