Nature’s Second Chance

Zoe Logan
Electrical Engineering, 2021

The damage that humans have done on the Earth is evident in the fact that the quarantine orders that have caused a sharp decrease in pollution and an immediate return of nature to places prior dominated by man. The piece Nature’s Second Chance contrasts the struggle between nature and man’s pollution through the contrasted formal elements between the buildings of Venice and the water canals through them that have regained clarity and life. The piece is an expressionist take on the canals in Venice, with a stark contrast between the muddy, empty buildings and the organic, brightly saturated river filled with fish swimming towards the ocean in the distance.
