This weeks reading on Subhankar Banerjee photography, his search to find a mythic wilderness and finding so much more. He found and shows in his work how connected and inhabited even the Arctic is, which is usually see as the last frontier unmarked by man. However it is inhabited, by natives that respect the environment and hundreds of species that migrate to and from the area. Wildlife that we would not normally think is so reliant on the Arctic, its more than just polar bears and ice.
The image of the polar bear relates to back to biophilia
Which is why we love anything polar bear
A better way of see how the world is connected. by Buckminster Fuller
Which may help people see just how connected the world really is, we are all connected by one body of water there are no walls to start and stop the flow from coast to coast of different countries and land masses are also actually much closer than they appear in a
more traditional view of the world that cuts the view in half
making the environments seem separate and cut off.
We need to be reminded how connected we really all are. Were do all the birds go they don't live in one place which Banerjee depicts in his images and caption of migratory birds and caribou reminding us of how important this land that seem total uninhabitable really is used by these animals and is very fragile. As it is in todays news I was reading about and ice shelf that is part of a bridge that is about to break away from the Antarctic coast.
