You don’t bring me flowers

Michael Robinson

Viewed at its seams, a collection of National Geographic landscapes from the 1960s and 1970s conjures an obsolete American romanticism currently peddled to propagate entitlement and individualism from sea to shining sea; the slideshow deforms into a bright white distress signal. You Don’t Bring Me Flowers explores human interpretation of nature through captured images. Independent, chaotic, and beautiful, nature refuses to sit still with or without human recognition.
