Project Description
This piece highlights humanity’s inherent need to admire and preserve beauty, particularly the natural world. Yet, it also speaks to the impermanence of that beauty—if not accurately respected, it risks fading into something distant and unreachably nostalgic. Our admiration for its splendor must be paired with action to protect it, before the beauty we are captivated by slips beyond our reach.
