Modern life is a paradox: the more comfortable<br />
man makes it for himself, the more uncomfortable<br />
it becomes for Mother Earth. People<br />
live as though their lives are separate from<br />
nature, without realizing that they are part<br />
of it.<br />
In my works, I often study nature <strong>and</strong> man’s<br />
dependence on it, <strong>and</strong> especially the beauty,<br />
fragility <strong>and</strong> vulnerability of northern nature.<br />
“Beautiful Earth” turns our eyes to the polar<br />
areas where big changes are taking place.<br />
Are they caused by global intrigue? It is<br />
worth thinking.<br />
