Relying on my foundational ability to draw, I have been exploring the intersection between technology and nature with humanity as the facilitator.  With history as a guide, I use engineering schematics, designs, maps and architectural plans to show how, even in small ways humans continually shape our world and ourselves. Plans and discoveries that were once groundbreaking and new are now discarded or considered irrelevant. However, the change the prototype drawings planned-- that mankind built from, has had a lasting effect on the planet and on us.  Nature is always outsmarting us, reminding us to think beyond ourselves and to look towards and include it in our future plans. Placing the natural word in parallel with our ideas shows how important it is to consider more than immediate, short term solutions, but also ones that endure.
