TITLE: Terra Corpus

“Terra Corpus ”(Earth Body) traces a visual journey from the planet’s ‘inner vascular system’ to the texture and imperfections of its ‘skin.’ The series opens with branching highways and rivers that mimic the human circulatory system—vessels carrying the flow of human activity like blood through veins. As we move outward, the landscape transitions to the planet’s skin: rural patchworks become subtle creases, forest craters resemble bruises, and small settlements emerge as pimple-like blemishes on the smooth surface of the forest. This progression invites reflection on how human activity shapes both the inner flow and outer texture of our planet, framing Earth not as a separate entity, but as a living body bound by the same patterns of growth, vulnerability, and imperfection as our own.
