Finding our roots

"I used to be an architect and a 3D artist, but things have changed in the past decades. It seemed that humanity will end its era with the profit-oriented governments and businesses...but many of us realized, that being a human is also being part of the nature that started to change the lifestyle globally for most of us. Instead of owning goods, having human relationships started to be more important. We started to return to the nature, and only took what we really needed in terms of technology and knowledge. Sad story, but those who stayed int he crowded cities became victims of a new mutant virus... But we survived, and we built new communities off the grid, completely self-sufficiently. This needed a lot of work inside ourselves, to be able to adapt to our surroundings, instead of changing it for our needs. Those who managed, live a happy life in harmony with the nature and its resources. I joined a community which lives a nomadic lifestyle, because there was a climate change indeed. Water levels are getting higher and wildfires are happening due to the rise in the temperature. We follow the wildlife and wander with them to survive. Some species got extinct with the climate change, but some mutated to adapt to the new circumstances. What we used to call architecture, is now rather a smart handcraft to build our moving sustainable homes. Everyone learned to build and repair what they need in the past years, and none is looking for an architect which is fine. The same goes for 3D artists, as the internet shut down around a decade ago.Luckily I kept my old laptop as a relic for the future, which runs now on solar power, and from time to time I capture our life with a visual to have memories from this period of finding our roots.
