In the Beginning (Contaminations)

By Adriano Marinazzo

Williamsburg, Virginia

If plants, animals, insects, and bacteria cease to exist, life on Earth will end; on the contrary, our planet would flourish if humanity disappears. Despite this scientific truth, human activities are increasingly modifying the natural world. This series has been created in peripheral areas where human encounters are rarer. But even in these places of social exclusion, anthropization heavily affects our environmental perception. In these photographs, we see how street electric wires interact/interfere with the sky. By modifying the Earth, are we ruining God's supreme work, or are we creating our masterpiece?
