؜THESIS

؜A sculpture that provokes conversation on the effect humans have had on Earth and its inhabitants through the lens of speculative evolution. The sculpture features the adaptations of a modern-day animal 1000 years after the extinction of humanity--where it has been forced to survive the extreme conditions and pollution humans left behind.
