The artwork draws inspiration from contemporary reflections on environmental issues, particularly the impact of plastic pollution on marine ecosystems. The imagery of swans carries a profound symbolic meaning—they navigate through the ruins, serving both as alienated representations of nature and as metaphors for rebirth. They embody humanity’s lost idealism and the possibility of self-redemption. By blending the aesthetics of a sci-fi utopia with the stark reality of environmental crises, the series invites viewers to contemplate the paradox between technological advancement and ecological balance.

The innovation of this work lies in its unique fusion of visual expression and philosophical depth. Unlike traditional environmental themes that rely on realism, this series adopts a surrealist style, constructing a dystopian utopia of plastic ruins to heighten immersion and impact. By juxtaposing artificial intelligence, mutated ecosystems, and remnants of human civilization, the artwork transcends a purely environmental narrative, evolving into an allegory of civilization’s survival and transformation.

Beyond being a visual art presentation, this series serves as a philosophical exploration of environmental ethics, technological development, and the future of humanity. With its striking visual impact, the artwork provokes deep reflection on real-world issues, making environmental concerns more tangible and emotionally resonant. It has the potential to function as a piece of public art or an exhibition, raising awareness of ecological crises while fostering interdisciplinary discussions among design, technology, and sociology.

As a thought-provoking artistic series, Hello, Where is Our Habitat? constructs a cautionary vision of the future through its visual language, evoking reflections on consumerism, technological ethics, and environmental preservation. Its profound themes and intricate artistic execution make it highly influential in both environmental discourse and technological art. Beyond being a compelling digital artwork, the series advances the role of digital art in addressing social issues and offers an imaginative cultural expression for sustainable development.
