Provenance : Provenance A private collection Invested in exploring natural forms and our relationships with the environment, Nnenna Okore explores how humans interact with nature and how these relationships develop habitats and social values. In conversation with Emily Spicer, Nnenna Okore explains: Man has a symbiotic relationship with the Earth. We depend on the natural surroundings for sustenance, shelter and survival. Ecological and climatic conditions in the natural habitat reflect how well we manage Earth's resources. We can only ensure our longevity if we protect and preserve the planet. Climate change is increasingly becoming a dire crisis for humanity. Ironically, this is being triggered by indiscriminate human activities. My work seeks to highlight Earth's vulnerability and fragility. By disrupting the flow of natural activities, we stand to lose in the long run.
