Watching the devastation unfolding in Nepal over the last 10 days has been deeply unsettling. Thousands of lives have been affected, and so many people have lost their lives. 😭😭😭😭 It is difficult to comprehend the scale of it when you are watching from the safety of the other side of the world.
It is impossible not to reflect on the bigger picture — on a changing climate, on our relationship with nature, and on the way we have built a society that so often takes without considering what is left behind.
Nature is not separate from us. We are part of it. Yet somewhere along the way, convenience, consumption and endless production have become more important than balance.
These thoughts have been sitting with me for a while and are part of why I have been slowly moving my own creative practice towards more sustainable making. Reusing discarded cloth, finding beauty and possibility in materials that already exist, and trying — in my own small way — to make without constantly demanding something new.
I know that one person reusing fabric will not stop disasters or reverse climate change. But perhaps change also begins in the small decisions we make every day. In questioning what we consume. What we throw away. What we take from the world around us.
Sometimes creating something new does not require more resources. Sometimes it simply requires looking differently at what has already been discarded.
Maybe that is something worth remembering. 🌍
