People built thousands of factories to produce all kinds of products. Ignored the pollution the factories created. The reason for the smog. Human are perceived of as being selfish and arrogant. They take care of themselves more than nature. They only take care of environmental protection when man-made pollution threatens human survival. They think they can solve all kinds of problems because they can create man-made products to help themselves, while nature can't do anything to protect itself. We can see, human are protecting nature, but human is polluting nature at same time. For me, I think it is futility. I want my project can make people understand nature does not need human's help, just stop pollution. Through the thinking process, I came up with an idea for my thesis project to illstrate this arrogance and futility by using man-made products "to solve" problems in nature in a sarcastically visual way.
