Mise en Abyme is a French expression to mirror or repeat. Our title refers to repeated studies, enquiries and reports documenting species collapse, environmental degradation and water stress. Yet, it’s business as usual and nothing changes. In Mise-en-abyme, we use blue saplings to brace a cluster of black and burnt trees in a mutually supporting structure to conveys the notion that though damaged there is the capability of regeneration. The natural world depends on changes in human actions to survive.
