‘The Conservation’, Øyvind Engevik (Engwind)
Norwegian CG artist and director, Øyvind Engevik’s The Conservation considers the idea of a “backup planet”, where humans have to harvest “Earth’s seed” to build a new home.
“We push because we must. We push because we are too late. We push because we no longer have a choice. We remember the melting glaciers. We remember the burning forests. We remember the dry lake beds. We regret not listening to the voices. We regret not noticing the signs. We regret not acting sooner. So, we must push. We must push to breathe. We must push to survive. We are busy keeping the tree alive. We are busy keeping hope alive. We are too busy to keep surviving like this. So, we will perish and die. The last tree is the last thing we will see. Don’t let this be the last thing you see. Remember to push for better environmental regulation. Remember to listen to the voices. Remember to pay attention to the signs. There’s still hope. There’s still a chance. There’s still time for you. To save the last tree for all of us.” – Øyvind Engevik.
