Introduction
It is the year 350, or so we believe. Time has softened, its edges blurred, like mist lifting over a quiet morning. We no longer mark it in days or years as those before us did. Night comes with the falling sun, day with its rise, and that rhythm is all we need to feel the pulse of existence. Around 350 revolutions of the earth ago, everything changed—everything began again.
The world, once vibrant with ambition, had fallen under the weight of conflict and storms that grew louder, fiercer, and more unrelenting. Humanity, in its relentless pursuit of control, had reached a precipice. When it became clear that life could no longer flourish in the old ways, they stopped fighting and started listening—to nature, to themselves, to the earth. In that moment of surrender, they found a new path. They envisioned a life where humans no longer ruled as masters but lived as equals among the animals, as part of the intricate web of the world. They turned to evolution, not as an abstract force but as a guide, and paired it with the essence of their ingenuity: technology. Together, these forces created a new reality—one where humanity no longer sought dominance but harmony. Now, 350 years later, we live in a world where freedom is absolute, yet need binds us to nothing. Work, politics, money—these echoes of a distant past have vanished, replaced by a simple existence in tune with the earth. Nutrients flow directly from the soil into our beings, no longer requiring the toil of cultivation or the cruelty of consumption. Communication transcends words; instead, we feel, sense, and connect in ways once unimaginable. We have changed, too. Our forms are fluid, shaped by evolution to invite or repel, blending us seamlessly with the world around us. The boundary between human and animal is no longer a line but a spectrum, one we traverse without hesitation. And so, I live. Not to achieve, not to conquer, but simply to exist. To feel the soft hum of life around me and within me. Here, in this timeless now, there is no striving, no longing—only the quiet contentment of being. This is our world. And in its stillness, we have found something the old world never could: peace.

Introduction
The brown project explored my relationship with the color brown and its various associations. My initial connection to this color was with soil — the most natural and neutral element, yet essential to life.
I began by researching different definitions of brown and how it serves as a symbol in various contexts. I discovered that in the Bible, brown symbolizes the earth and is often associated with a monk's robe, representing humility and God’s connection to the ordinary and commonplace. As humans, we constantly attempt to separate ourselves from nature, but we have evolved to a point where we may struggle to recognize our origins. Modern humans often find themselves at odds with their natural state. To express this idea, I aimed to create an animalistic representation of the human form by removing the soul from the body, leaving only what connects us to nature — the physical construction of our bodies. Just like everything else in nature, we grow, simply exist, decay, and ultimately return to the soil
