I was intrigued by the original image of this woman, finely dressed with a camera in the middle of the desert. The image stood out to me because despite the wildness of the environment, the woman remained poised and seemingly unphased by her surroundings. I chose to remix the image to make the woman more immersed in the environment by draping her with animals and plants. In this remix I hope to awaken the public's understanding of the importance of not simply observing our ecological environments as something separate, but instead to view it as an essential, interconnected part of our make up as humans. With that in mind we should physically integrate ourselves into our outdoor surroundings to better understand and embrace its significant, and consequently the need to preserve.
