Remix: Safety Never Felt So Good by Laura Kathrein, 2016
As humans, we have created or are in the process of creating
anything to provide more comfort and separation from the natural world. In
addition, our western consumer culture tells us we need to accumulate more to live civilized lives. The original image captures a whimsical interaction with nature. The carefree man jumping into uncharted
waters reminds the viewer the fun of going back to the basics and
reconnecting with the environment. I’ve remixed the image to show the junk we acquire that furthers that separation between humans and the natural
world as well as giving us a false sense of security.
