The thesis consists of a series of images of various formats with neon, aposematic coloring. In my work, I capture anthropomorphic insect fauna as a reference to coexistence and significant differences in the length of phylogenetic development. While humans have been evolving on Earth for up to 2,800,000 years, other species were here long before us. Many of them may not survive the latest stage of human development, marked by tremendous technological advancement, population growth, and massive environmental impact. In my work, I address the irreversible collapse of ecosystems due to the catastrophic extinction of insects. The series of images is complemented by glass objects, which, through significant processing, draw attention to the loss of biodiversity, including the unseen and unnoticed. The installation, comprised of a collection of images and glass objects, is intended to represent a toxic, poisonous zone. Entering it should compel viewers to experience and perhaps reflect on the unsettling position of humanity within the societal and natural system.
