Description

As we stand on the verge of the sixth mass extinction, the Holocene
Extinction, I find myself reflecting on the profound history of our
planet and the earlier five major extinction events that have shaped
life on Earth. The piece explores the creation of life on earth, it’s
evolutions and extinctions through different sound worlds.
