sustainability

except for the last photo, these were all taken of a museum display from when they had an exhibition on silk. i took copies of the Japanese photos part of the exhibit too. it's interesting to see how certain things don't change despite the technological advances.

anyway, despite what i said in the previous about the pins and human actions being brutal, i'm more interested in how we as humans could coexist with nature, and how we utilize resources without being wasteful. (i do think traditional sericulture is good for sustainability for that reason.) i'm glad the Field Museum and other institutions keep specimens of creatures so we can enjoy and learn. my little photo project is going to take months, but travelling around the world in hope of finding these creatures would take more than a lifetime i'm sure... (and if i had my way, i'd rather not stuck in samsara for too long, thank you very much. :P)
