"My work seeks to explore the relationship between politics, economics, consumption, and the Earth. I approach the topic of Earth (or more specifically man’s relationship to the earth) by looking at how consumption in the developed world creates the conditions for further destruction of the earth in the developing world, specifically Latin America. More importantly, I examine how this relationship foments poverty, violence and political turmoil."
