Description

When given a particularly grim outlook on the future of the world without mankind, I wanted to make it clear how I feel about the resiliency of the earth itself. Mankind can succeed in killing itself and all other life on this planet, but nothing it could ever do will stop life from eventually finding its way back. I wanted to focus on the idea that this world has faced total annihilation before, and new life still managed to come after that, the Earth can kill us but we can’t kill The Earth.
