THE AFTER PEOPLE
PORTRAITS
In this post-apocalyptic saga, an unspecified catastrophe has unleashed a mutated mycorrhizae-like fungus that has transmuted all humans into an unprecedented and extraordinary hybrid species. These new hybrids are embracing their new symbiotic relationship within a newly thriving natural world order, while developing heightened senses and sometimes breathtaking physical attributes. The artist has paid extra attention researching, exploring and expressing the multitude of hybrid features and textures as well as portraying the many different characters. The narrative challenges the audience to consider the delicate interaction between humans and nature and the need to cherish and preserve the planet for future generations. The series is divided in two parts: 1. Portraits and 2. Scenes. This Portrait page focuses more on the psychological and appearance side within the series.
