Wetlands play an important role in promoting biodiversity, water purification and climate control. In my degree project, I have reflected on the Anthropocene – the epoch we are currently in – in which human impact is having a devastating effect on the planet’s ecosystem. By creating an artificial wetland, I want to raise awareness of humankind’s role as the steward of nature. The project is a symbol of our endeavour to restore and preserve ecosystems, despite our historical impact on Earth.
