Picture 1: waterfall/
Yes it is a waterfall. However perfectly crafted, flawless and proportionate it is, this wonder is incomparable to what true nature had given us. This picture shows the effects of man’s intervention in nature, of how man’s desire to replicate it and reproduce such beauty given to humans by God. These intentions have been iterated in this picture when man attempts to produce nature’s miracle, in this case, the waterfall. How could such creations bring calmness and happiness to the human soul when there was an obvious difference between the artificialness of man’s creation and the reality of nature’s true form? The waterfall’s man-made features shows that man has become too obsessed in finding a way to bring about new forms of nature that they had forgotten the purpose for its existence. With the advancement of technology, men had unconsciously put aside his ‘soul’ and have totally taken advantage of the gift that nature brings. Greed and desire had blocked man’s sight towards the meaning and purpose of nature. The future of the appreciation of nature was in man’s hands.
Picture 2: swan lake/
The swan lake? The vast mass of water which covers most of the area shows the lake with a swan statue in the middle of it. A Wedding couple was having a photo taking session in the midst of nature. What did man regard nature as? This picture clearly shows the other side of the story, where man shows his appreciation for nature. Man relates a major event in his life, marriage, to the wonders of nature. He shares one of the happiest days of his life amidst something so natural, and unconsciously developing the love and fondness towards the beauty it brings. This shows that man has not completely forgotten his appreciation for nature. The effects of globalization have indeed played a huge part in man’s life especially in terms of the advancement of technology which in turn affects the environment. Despite the tremendous pressure upon man to improve their lives with technological advancement, they still make time for nature therapy. What was going to happen to nature in the future? Would it be taken lightly or maybe not exist at all?
Picture 3: Environment-friendly Students/
The picture shows a group of students from Temasek Junior College posing for the camera amidst nature. This shows the continuing effort of man to revive nature and to bring awareness of its existence to the increasingly egoistic world. Besides that, it also tells the tale of the mutual understanding between man and nature and how living in harmony was not a myth. However the shadow of complacency still lurks behind man, as they move to their technologically advanced lives and become lesser and lesser in tune with nature. They have forgotten that nature was the only natural aspect of life which lives among us. This picture shows the motivation and spirit of man in their worldwide effort to bring understanding and soul back to the human frame. The willingness of the students to take a visual memory with nature shows the acceptance of nature in man’s lives. What was to happen to nature in the years to come? It was something that had to be decided by man. Sooner or later.~
