âA permanent recordâ; âtelling the story of our world for centuries to comeâ: I wish I had faith in permanence, in centuries to come. Iâd like to believe in witnesses to these stories weâve 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. Iâm not afraid to die and leave this world - Iâm afraid I might outlive it.
âFlorae facticaeâ (âfactitious flowersâ) 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.
