āA permanent recordā; ātelling the story of our world for centuries to comeā: I wish I had faith in permanence, in centuries to come. Iād like to believe in witnesses to these stories weāve created. But right now, optimism feels silly at best, irreverently ignorant at worst. Unless urgent action is taken, half of all species face extinction by 2100. Iām not afraid to die and leave this world - Iām afraid I might outlive it.
āFlorae facticaeā (āfactitious flowersā) presents a predicted archive of a projected future.
A world in which half remains, albeit on possibly the brink of fossilization; the other half black and white dreams, colored-in by memories, or replaced with man-made materials.
