Synchronicity Overview

My process with this project involved going out and photographing things that I thought were interesting and relatable to the theme of this project. I took these pictures because I wanted to convey the beauty of nature and the importance of preserving and protecting these natural environments and its organic life from human made destruction. I also wanted to portray how nothing last forever, how futile it is to segregate ourselves from our natural environments, and how detrimental it is for humanity to alter and destroy these natural environments since every human made thing will eventually be claimed by mother nature and fade away into nothingness. In addition, I wanted to convey the necessity in practicing sustainable activities to safeguard and maintain our natural environments and wildlife from ultimate destruction. Additionally, the research that I conducted for this project was most helpful towards my final portfolio since I found a lot of valuable and useful information on the internet that was important and helpful to me in making this artwork what it is now. Furthermore, I believe these educational references that I provided for this final project could be inspirational to the viewer in wanting to partake in sustainable activities and wanting to maintain and defend our natural environments and organic life from human made destruction.

Synchronicity Final Thoughts

What I am most proud of in this final portfolio is creating charming, amazing, and fascinating work that could be educational to the viewer and inspire that viewer to practice sustainable activities, preserve and protect natural habitats and organic life from human made destruction, and to develop a deep passion for all natural things. I am also proud of creating work that is easily accessible and sharable to my audience. I am glad that I had the opportunity to create this artwork for my audience and I am honored that I got to share this artwork with my audience.
