Sense of Security and the Degradation of Nature: A Photographer's Perspective
In this project, I explore the connection between the feeling of security and soil degradation. During my
studies in the Master’s program in Photography, I delved into this issue and captured a dataset of
approximately 3,000 images of diverse natural landscapes. I use this dataset to create new works with
the assistance of AI while investigating the impact of soil degradation on our sense of security. By
combining these photographs with AI-generated visuals, I create a narrative that challenges the
illusion of security amidst ecological crises. Alongside depicting potential threats, I also examine
nature's comforting and protective qualities—how nature can overcome human impact and heal itself.
My works blend elements of abstraction, photorealism, and surrealism.
Laura is working on the project throughout 2024 and 2025.
