City Vs. Human: Urban Shorts

While being part of the biological world, homo sapiens surrounded themselves with the stone jungle of cities that we now call home. Homo parasitus, changing the natural structure of the Las Vegas desert, the toponymic names of Kyiv metro station, capturing new spaces by ruining natural chains. What we can gain or lose as a result of our influence –  depends only on us.
