‘Connected' Affirms Our Relationship With Mother Earth

Amor Coetzee's 'Connected' is a photo set that blends models in with trees and branches in a way that makes me think of our relationship with Mother Earth.

In the pictorial, models' hair is supplemented with leafy branches, arms are intertwined with vines and legs are replaced with a giant tree trunk. Check out some other Earth-loving photo shoots below.

Implications - Humanity's close bond with the earth isn't necessarily groundbreaking, but Amor Coetzee's unusual method of manifesting that relationship certainly is. With its definitively unique aesthetic, fashion innovations like this one get people talking in a major way that is sure to inspire other artists and designers to take note.
