Portrayals of Primal Forces


We find ourselves in a peculiar current geological period, The Age of the Anthropocene, in which we, humans, dominate the influence on the environment.  
Just as we move, nature moves, changing with the shifts in time and because of us.
From the top of the mountain down to the shoreline, the wilderness is manmade.
