“Human Realm | Earth”
There is a loneliness felt at the moment of acceptance that finding any other life forms beyond those on Earth is uncertain. We are in the Universe in a Galaxy in a Solar System in a warm lush perfectly balanced planet packed full of life, full of humans harboring individual mobile Universes. In “Human Realm | Earth”, we are exploring the extraordinary existence of a flying Bird and a falling human. We are navigating the creation of a self, working to understand the extreme tools we as humans use to mold and unintentionally entrap our own potential.
Lets indulge in the beauty of our Earth and one of it’s most energetic species, Birds. Why are Birds important? Wes Craven says “Birds have lifted our eyes to the skies. They’ve shown us that flight is possible and limitless. The Bird hovers and soars, dives and displays, and takes us from one end of the plant to the other in a single, impossible burst of energy and purpose. Like the canary in the mine, they hold the planet up to us like a mirror.
Why Wes Craven? Perhaps he’s discovered whether humans truly lose their selves in death or find another.
