Mudskipper Musings, Pondering Pigeons, Wondering Worms and Foreboding Fossils
Amanda Islam Gustafsson

Dear Reader, you find yourself suspended in space, suddenly removed from your once so familiar home on earth. Your once human form has transformed into a glowing orb of light. In front of you are four doors. As you step through them, you land in worlds other than the one you think you know by now. Inviting you to expand your consciousness are guides from four different animal kingdoms. Who will you be when you return?

My degree project is an exploration of the natural world, and learning about the lives of organisms, while examining the effects of climate change. By experimenting with the website format, I discover its possibilities for creating storytelling that fosters a connection between non-human and human beings. My aim is to create stories about nature (and by extension us) that evoke a sense of wonder and create empathy and kinship for creatures other than ourselves.
