Emergence
Though millions of years, life emerged from one cell in the sea. This is what connects everything in our world. Our ability to connect with other organisms or things allows for new phenomena to emerge. We’ve developed social systems to maintain order and develop as a species. Since we are all connected on this planet, plants and animals could function similar to us. At times, it seems they are aware they are part of a whole being greater than the sum of its parts. With our compassion for another, we should be able to coexist and make way for new beautiful things to emerge.

Species in this work
Every collage is built from my own photographs of real plants and animals. Here they are, named the way a naturalist would: common name, scientific name with its author, and the branch of the tree of life they grow on.
Show all species
Classification follows the GBIF Backbone, the IOC World Bird List and APG IV. Where a photograph only allows identification to genus or family, the name stops there.
