Jarrad Parker, Standpoint on Necessary. (Landscape)

I have set out to illustrate humans impact on the landscape around him in this set of images. It briefly touches on just a few examples of how we change it to suit our needs on an ever increasing scale. Whether it be the impact of mining it, the large areas consumed through construction or burning it down to make way for highways, depending on your standpoint the changes can be seen as necessary progress or unnecessary destruction.
