The Loss of the Last

I created this digital collage on Procreate to emphasize the elements we tend to see in the world we live in today. To create this piece, I captured pictures in magazines and digitally cut them out on Procreate, where I then layered them to add depth. I tried to get many images of the buildings and other elements found in cities, as well as construction pieces to help convey the theme. My intent in creating this piece was to ask the viewer to question why the world is depicted in this way, and what the implications of a hand holding a final tree up before a crane begins destroying it could mean. These questions can develop different themes for everyone, but the universal feeling I was going for was loss, and how greedy a world based on efficiency over beauty can become.
