Anatomy \ə-ˈna-tə-mē\ (noun):
1. a branch of morphology that deals with the structure of organisms
2. the art of separating the parts of an organism in order to ascertain their position, relations, structure, and function
The human body has been studied, written about, and observed for centuries; the same can be said about the natural environments we occupy. Both nature and the human body demonstrate similarities in shape, and to some extent, physical make up. However, on a day-to-day basis, one might forget how we relate to the natural world; poets, musicians, and artisans have utilized mankind as rhetorical and visual inspiration.
Anatomy of Nature aims to challenge the viewer when observing the human body, and allow the viewer to recognize that these shapes and forms are seen frequently in various landscapes. Providing literal images of nature and abstracted images of the body creates a comparative analysis of how we are individually comprised, and on a greater scale, how our features compare to the natural forms of Earth.
