EVIDENCE OF PRESENCE
Publication, 215x280mm
We as humans have the need to leave things behind, from cave paintings to an artwork on the moon, and from the Nazca Lines to the remnants of multigenerational nuclear waste. These human artifacts will be visible for generations to come, making it clear that something happened here. This publication explores a few examples of our influence on this world, spanning from 13,000 B.C. to 12,000 A.D.
THE INTERSECTION, A MANIFEST

RECEPTION & PERCEPTION
Publication, 148x210mm
