The Destroy, Preserve, Destroy, Preserve... series (also known as the Entropy series) explores our human cycle of harm and repair. This series specifically focuses on the climate emergency, and our daily failures as well as our daily efforts to protect what is still left. A loving attempt to repaint/recreate a crumpled landscape image demonstrates attentiveness and determination.
