"Terrestrial" is a fashion photo book envisioning a utopian future where humanity's symbiotic relationship with nature is explored through fashion imagery. Loosely inspired by Robin Wall Kimmerer's "Braiding Sweetgrass," it portrays interconnectedness and speculative landscapes. Alongside AI-generated depictions, it embraces creative freedom to envision nature's evolution and future, urging reflection on future generations' fate. It accepts Earth's demise while celebrating nature. Through the lens of the fashion image, "Terrestrial" invites viewers to explore ecology in all its mind-altering ways and contemplate the resilience of our interconnected world.
