The world is fragile and so am I

An installation multi media on the fragility of the world we are living now in

When the War in Ukraine started, a sense came over me of how fragile our lives, our comforts, are. From one moment to the next everything can change. 
Hence came the idea for this piece on fragility.
I also read an article about insects that are rapidly disappearing.  
This, too, indicates how fragile our life is. We humans no longer have respect either for the lives of other species or for the earth's resources.  
We live on a fragile planet. And it is becoming more and more than clear how fragile our system and we humans are. Insects may be the first to go, but who will be next? 
So many useful things will be lost with them; they, too, are as important as any other species, including our own.

 But fragility also has its own beauty, and broken things can be put back together in another way. creating something new. Hope is the last to die
