DANIEL TAVEIRA
Anthropogenic

Anthropogenic is the result of past actions resulting in the constant climate changes of the present, defining our uncertain future. Being a Brazilian and have lived where the Amazon starts, my heart and mind know the importance of this “lung of the world”. Anthropogenic enters my life as a tool to make people aware of the importance of the environment through my lenses. Anthropogenic means effects, processes, objects, or materials that are derived from human activities, as opposed to those occurring in natural environments without human influences. The photographic project is a way of raising awareness about the value of the environment, it is directly related to climate change, to impact people in a visually dramatic, futuristic and apocalyptic way.
