Artist Statement

            “The Crow” is a video art piece that explores human behavior and how humans treat the earth.  The video is a fortune-telling story about the destruction of earth and how humans have a roll in it.  The video combines different elements like video and graphics to tell the story.  The crow represents a bad omen from the fortune-telling card and it guides the viewer through out the story.  The black sections in the water and in the air throughout the video represent pollution and the crow guides the viewer through the different sections of this pollution.  The end reveals that this fortune hasn’t actually come true and that there is still time for people to change behaviors to help the earth by reducing the pollution that we put in to environment in present day. 

            I created this piece to show awareness of our society and how we can impact the earth.  Today people are more aware of global warming and it is said to be due to the actions that humans have had on the earth.  Industrialization, deforestation, and pollution have greatly increased greenhouse gases that help trap heat near the Earths surface, increasing the average temperatures on our planet.  Although we cannot completely stop the progression of global warming we can slow the process by reducing our CO2 levels and to do that it takes everybody’s efforts to help keep our planet  healthy.
