Paradise

Unable to cherish the gifts of Mother Earth, humanity began its descent—first from scarcity to abundance, then from abundance to excess. Like a wolf without pity for its prey, man devours the planet, convinced he will perish before witnessing its ultimate collapse.
With the same arrogance that devalues a fly’s life beneath a human’s, we live under the illusion of freedom while remaining enslaved by society and consumerism. We will stop at red lights even when no one crosses, clinging to the false belief that pleasure is bound to excess.
The blind obedience of the masses to the individual will be our downfall. Deprived of independent thought, hypnotized by our own reflections, we seek guidance—a father figure—losing the very essence of free worship. Led toward modernity, we will be ruled while believing ourselves free.
"Earth is paradise. Hell is not noticing it." Sanna frequently references this Borges aphorism as the spark that ignited Paradise. The overwhelming red filter in his images serves as a stark reminder of a planet drained of vitality, where many believe life cannot continue like this much longer.
