Description: When Technology Forgets the Earth: This is our project, When Technology Forgets the Earth. This sculpture represents our green future and the way society has corrupted electronics. The green box with grass symbolize the Earth- alive, growing, and naturally balanced. Above it floats a metal flying car made from electronic parts and tin foil, showing how technologies is rising faster than our responsibility for it. Electronics were created to help us, but today they often damage the environment, through pollution, waste, and over consumption. The flying car looks advanced, but it hovers nature, instead of supporting it, suggesting separation rather than natural harmony. This piece asks an important question - Will our future technology protect the planet or continue to rise at it’s expense? It truly green future depends on reconnecting innovation with nature.
