“The general and official recognition of ecocide has long been very important to me! Just as there are human rights, there must also be environmental rights, nature must be entitled to its own right. Nature must have the opportunity to complain. It is also important for us to perceive and respect nature appropriately. It has to get out of its implicitness and out of its utilitarian nature, it must not be reified and enslaved. It must be recognized as something entrusted to us, as the basis of our ability to exist on earth, inside and outside of us. Something that we protect, that we care about, that is our life and wealth. So I hope to use art to draw attention to ecocide and to awaken personal commitment to ecocide laws!”
