This gallery explores the traces humans leave in nature. Each image captures objects, ruins, or remnants that have been abandoned or left to decay, showing how human presence slowly transforms the landscape. Human & Nature reflects both the impact we have and the passage of time, revealing beauty and fragility in what is often overlooked or forgotten.
A Green Sandpiper wades through the crimson sludge of an old sedimentation pond, which decades later still bears the heavy legacy of human contamination. The water remains stained by chemical residues and iron deposits from wastewater processing, marking a long-term degradation of the natural environment. This striking scene serves as a stark reminder of the profound and lasting impact that industrial waste has on our ecosystems.
Discarded Past, Enduring Trace. Amidst the ancient pines, these abandoned tyres stand as silent reminders of human interference. Forgotten by their owners, they will haunt the forest for centuries. Their decay is painfully slow, as steel and toxic components gradually corrode, leaching heavy metals into the soil and groundwater. This is not a story that passes; it is pollution that endures.
