    That type of art can help break self centered / egotistical thinking. But human experience is as much apart of this world as anything else. What would be nice is if we started treating everything as sich. Our tendency to other ourselves instead of viewing everything as a whole is what lends to domination of the planet.

      Very much my point. When we realize that we’re part of the landscape and not its owners, we can all live more harmoniously. The world existed before us and will persist after we’re gone. No amount of toxic optimism can change that.

      What we do with ourselves in this world and the perspective we view it from helps us move through it more fluidly.
