The bb’s in my head shouted profanity while my heart sought beauty, or even just peace. Once connected, the bb’s spoke acceptance with the pretense of logic and understanding. Out of this eventually arose personal allusions to a journey of experiencing the earth and our place on it.

“Appropriation Earth” is a general exploration of humanity’s connection to and presence on the earth. Pondering the existence of any spiritual connection while examining our physical connection through commodification in a culture of profit whereby the earth is inevitably assigned a monetary value then bought and sold in the name of “necessity”. Earth’s dominance over this stress in association with the human need to make order out of chaos being general themes contemplated.

In spite of contradictory ideas, there exists a strange harmony, which still yields peace for me. In the coexistence of host and parasite, there lies an interesting paradox at the crux of our existence. As elusive as understanding may be, I am always on the lookout for connections.
