Ginger Diddle
For me, we are made 100% of water. Scientifically, I admit this is false but liquid runs deep, born from womb to water my beginnings were embellished by water. The perpetual motion of the element is comforting, traditional metrics collapse, leaving potential for a force slipperier than the human-centric idea of ‘Nature’ to thrive.
I want to challenge the hierarchical separation that Western culture has imposed between human and Nature, why the need for eternal anthropological dominance?
The West denies its neglect and continues to exercise its power to transcend the wilting of Nature.
I invite you to attempt to place yourself as a part of the Natural world.
Would we understand ourselves, the ocean, the sky, the rock, better?
