Mamaroneck, NY Note: I created this image using discarded garbage that consisted of broken glass, broken glass, a pair of spoons and other debris. I created the title since the two spoons represent the fatigue and mental anguish we can experience during trying times symbolized by the chaos of the broken plastic and glass, and selected the main rouge/red color to represent humanity, life, renewal and most importantly love. The circle represents continuity and the eternal nature of life while the white colors of the broken glass bits represent light and goodness. The fact we are all saved through universal salvation – goodness to be celebrated since the darkness of death cannot keep us within its grasp is sufficient reason to rejoice represented by the tiny happy face.

Marshlands Conservancy, Rye, NY Note: Although this is a nature preserve, humans have made an indelible impact on its environment ranging from litter and pollution, to inscribing their names and initials on brickwork of ruins, and carving pictographs and letters into the bark of trees. With humans having directly transformed the Earth's environment, the planet entered a new epoch -- the Anthropocene Epoch c. 1950 CE (and not for good reasons). Is this the final epochal period as we blindly approach our extinction?
