This is the corruption of data through photographic representation.
The conversation has been redirected in the advancing digital age, with data rights and biological threats being the next undertaking for humanity to manage. However, the pandemic of today did not originate from an intended act, but rather humanity's need for the simple act of consumption. We are a species that is driven to consume. The impact a biological deterrent would have physically on the human body has been widely discussed; however, foreseeing its mental and stationary impact on an individual and global scale was part of the unknown, how people would react, making the choice they would, on what it's most important: life, economy, family, career, survival.
This image was created from my perspective of the current lockdown. This image depicts how we, as individuals and a global community, have become motionless on our planet, closing connections to each other, staying indoors and biding time to contain the outbreak. Equally, it represents how nature has taken back a level of control; with a decrease in pollution and the breakdown of dense population, wildlife sightings have become more frequent. This pandemic has illustrated how simple changes could bring a level of balance back to the world we inhabit. As we return to the world as it was, it's important to remember the good with the bad, the benefits it's had on wildlife, and the halting of economic growth. This year has represented the changes that can and should be implemented and how, when it comes to the most basic means of survival, humanity will pull through.
