Raw Materials

In this surreal AI-generated short, I reflect on our connection with raw materials and the laborious process of making the products we consume. It's a reflection on both the natural and human-made landscapes affected by the extraction process essential for producing goods. From labor-intensive extraction to refining, processing, and shipping across vast distances, every step leaves its mark on the land, the people involved, and the immediate and future environments alike. Prompting a profound consideration of the broader impact on our surroundings, sustainability, and the long-term consequences of our consumption habits.

TAR (get) 04

This series of six one of ones is a symbolic reflection on tar materials extracted and the populations affected by its production. Regions rich in tar resources become targets in global power struggles and regional conflicts, driven by the need to secure essential materials for naval construction, infrastructure maintenance, and industrial processes. These conflicts often overlook the human consequences, as communities reliant on tar extraction face displacement, environmental degradation, and economic upheaval. Pursuing control over tar resources underscores broader geopolitical tensions, highlighting how natural resource exploitation can fuel social and economic inequalities.
