Wildwood Project

For this project my focus was on how nature is there even though there are human dwellings. This was shot at Wildwood which is a metropark in Toledo Ohio. The audio is taken at the University of Toledo Visual arts building. There is a stairwell that whistles which I included. My main idea for this was to show the difference between nature itself and show the dissonance I feel when seeing a human made structure inside an otherwise natural setting. Tall grass in the wind is serene but if you look you can see a large former home in back which takes away the feeling. This is a metropark meant to preserve the native species yet it holds multiple buildings and playgrounds in order to keep humans coming and funding it. Nature is beautiful but not fun to live in without the commodities of the urban setting. Although this place is created and used with good intentions there are still some aspects that were not thought through. The ramification of the the building and other structures added aren’t as big of a worry as I feel they should be.
