There’s No Place Like Home

There’s No Place Like Home provides a critical interpretation of the intrinsic ideologies that fuel capitalism as an interdependent force in our global economy. Blinded by avarice and the overindulgence of commodities, humans seek an acceleration of development for the benefit of economic growth. It is the living, breathing earth underneath our feet that endures the environmental repercussions that are a byproduct of the hyperactive market driven economy and the want of economic accumulation. The most sacred resources to our existence now lie under the threat of the corporate world; wildfires, polluted oceans, extinction of life, degradation of flora and fauna, deforestation, air pollution, water contamination.

What is the value of existence, where a corporate culture values money more than life?

Fighting to save their homes, anxiously waiting for evacuations, and the dream of rebuilding their lives has become the reality for those who face the atrocities of environmental catastrophe. A wound cannot be ignored, and life must not be overlooked as for the energy in our earth is not eternal.
