Humans, Plants and Decaying Human Works

The visual content of these images deals with many of the same issues as the Plants and Decaying Human Works category. However, when the human form is introduced to the equation, the content and also the meaning of the images changes greatly. Not only do we see in these images plant life and decaying/forgotten human technology, but also the human examining the textures. By juxtaposing the human presence with the other textures a sense of memory is conveyed, in a sense that humans came from the land, but now strive to tame and control it. Witnessing decaying human works in the natural landscape leaves viewers wondering how important our technological advancements truly are.
