Mother Nature


My remix draws on the relationship between humans and nature through Mother Nature. She is a figure in several different cultures that embodies the natural world. The original image spoke to me because of the simplicity and beauty of the horse's profile, and I wanted to enhance this by bringing in a human aspect to help people connect. The remix features a side profile of mother nature in line with the horse, surrounded by flowers and with a golden branch crown. The swirls coming out of her mouth remind us that she is always speaking; through the ocean waves,  through the gentle breeze that ruffles fields of golden grain, through the fog that drifts in from the sea. Our current society has operated with the premise that each part of our world exists separate from one another, and we need to remember that we are all part of the same home, Earth.
