I Have Been Buried Under Years of Dust
I Have Been Buried Under Years of Dust
The Vanished Civilizations - Exhibition of Industrial Products of Human Civilization in the 21st Century This exhibition is held to commemorate the history of human civilization.
Glacial melting, virus invasion, frequent wildfires, and war outbreaks are all extreme events that threaten human survival.
One day in the future, with a sudden climate change and the arrival of disasters, human civilization has suffered an unprecedented blow. Humans have disappeared. Nature urgently needs to reclaim its lost territory. Human civilization, once at its peak, has engaged in excessive exploitation and reckless deforestation, and a series of destructive behaviors have eventually brought about its own consequences. If this day really comes, let's look back and see which information is worth recording or what can be left as a warning.
By eroding objects closely tied to modern life, the works turn familiar everyday items into dilapidated “relics.” This contrast creates a personal connection, prompting viewers to question their decay and feel a sense of loss.
