Mother Earth: nevertheless she persisted

In spite of human activity, the Earth continues to transform and reinvent itself. Its inhabitants cannot escape its permanence, and the power it has to shape their existence. The question remains, as nature reinvents itself, can we adapt with it? Will we be part of that next chapter? I have mounted scenes of habitation behind acrylic, set within landscapes shaped by climate change. Painted frames allude to Earth's next chapter. The image sets scenes of human habitation against a future post-human landscape, asking whether humanity can adapt to what climate change has in store for the planet.
