Homo Sapiens

The visuals could be drawn from a sci-fi movie set on Earth after it has become unlivable. Deserted structures like residential complexes, retail stores, cinemas, hospitals, offices, schools, a library, amusement parks, and prisons are depicted. Nature is reclaiming these spaces, with scenes such as a moss-covered bar where ferns grow between the stools, a vending machine still filled with soft drinks now enveloped in greenery, an overgrown landfill, or tanks nestled in the forest. Tall grass emerges from the cracks in the pavement. Birds fly within the dome of an inactive reactor, while a breeze causes window blinds to rattle or pieces of paper to drift, accompanied by the sound of rain: an atmosphere filled with silence, inviting reflection. These settings are marked by the remnants of past human life, serving as evidence of a civilization that created architecture, art, the entertainment industry, technologies, ideologies, wars, and environmental catastrophes.
