The purpose of my slideshow was to explore the relationship between nature and humanity. I wanted the placement of the media quote to provoke ideas of pollution, and how we have the ability to either have a positive or negative effect on nature. My slideshow begins with the image looking at a man through the leaves of a tree. I did this in order to try to imagine what it is like to look at humans from the perspective of nature, almost as if the trees could talk or tell their story. The next few images show a girl laying down in nature. She is laying in the grass, in nature but not entirely aware of her relationship with it. She is then pointed up towards the tree. This hand could be her own, or it could be symbolic of the Lord's call to be aware of creation. After this call, the leave then falls on her face and she laughs joyfully. This was to show how we have the ability to have a positive relationship with creation if we make the conscious decision to. This sequence also can raise the question of whether or not creation care is not in fact something that is a commandment to all followers of Christ.
