ARBOREA

We are living in the Anthropocene.

Formations developed over millions of years incorporate the shape of trees; life forms of today are rendered vulnerable by human settlement.

From the magnificent forests of South Western Australia to the expansive and increasingly barren grazing fields of the Wheatbelt, I am struck by climate anxiety and grief over loss of habitat.

Weather turns into storm. Fire turns to devastation. How do we connect with the natural world we claim to know?

Imagine us humans as agents of change, or of extinction, as we threaten to halt this vibrant pulse of life that makes our planet a living marvel.

“…we are collectively at the heart of the hourglass, its tightening constricting

A chest pain is a world-reckoning anguish as the narrow chance of change is closing.”
