The Blue Existence

2022

The Blue Existence depicts the forced coexistence and extinction of invasive and native species, revealing the impact of human intervention on wildlife. The absence of eyes symbolizes their soullessness, emphasizing the consequences of our actions. By printing the species in reversed, Nathan explores the notions of belonging and survival. Flipping the piece unveils one species triumphing while the other faces demise. This artwork provokes contemplation on the delicate balance between existence and annihilation in the natural world.
