“Biological diversity is the richness of variation among living organisms of all origins, including from, among other things, land -based, marina and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complex which includes these organisms; This includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems. " (Definition under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity.)
I have decided to look at the richness of variety in man. A sign with the text "I am Herrhagen" as well as a QR code that leads to a slideshow of people living or working at Herrhagen. Most of us think of plants and animals when mentioning the concept of biodiversity. I have always had man as a motif in my art and so here. Face, body and movement.
In this work I want to show what important the enormous variety of variation is, as we humans possess. It is important that everyone gets a place, regardless of culture, appearance, skin color, gender or age.
The biodiversity in us humans is great and it is precisely the variation that makes it beautiful.
