The art world constantly discusses the processes and techniques that artists use to create their works. One such metaphor is that of the artist as a sieve; the artist uses their unique perspective and experiences to sift through the world’s chaos, selecting what will inspire their art. Through this process, they create something new and present it to the audience, who will have their own interpretations and reactions. In this paper, we will explore the metaphor of the artist as a sieve, its implications, and its relation to the act of creating art.

Human-made structures, once a symbol of industrial progress, are now being actively absorbed by nature. Over the years, human settlements displaced natural habitats, resulting in lack of biodiversity as well as wiping out entire ecosystems. These sites, once dominated by concrete and steel, are now slowly being transformed by the forces of nature, giving rise to new habitats rich in biodiversity. When humans move away from these sites, nature begins to thrive.
