Anthropocene is a geological term, used to describe the most recent period in Earth’s history, where humanity has had a significant impact on the climate and ecosystems.

The word Anthropocene is derived from the Greek words anthropo, for “man,” and cene for “new,” coined and made popular by biologist Eugene Stormer and chemist Paul Crutzen in 2000.

It has been recommended that it began in 1950, “This recommendation was based upon the idea that by this point in Earth’s history, plutonium isotopes caused by nuclear weapons testing fallout would be concentrated enough to serve as an observable signal in rock strata.”

Many artists and photographers explore the concept of Anthropocene in their work in order to raise awareness and support the environment.

I like images that have been edited to create new compositions like the work of Smith, Lu and Patterson but also like images with interesting compositions and colours.
