The Balance of Nature | A Mixed Media Art Project for Cosmic Creations - Inspired By Nature - No. 4

After completing the Cosmic Creations No. 8 Contest theme "Inspired by Nature," I wanted to share with you another mixed media art project related to the theme.

In my "Inspired By Nature" Theme No. 4, I wanted to portray a champion for the environment. She believes in the balance of nature.

According to established beliefs, the balance of nature is a theory that proposes that ecological systems are usually in a stable state of homeostasis. This is also known as ecological balance. The theory suggests that small changes, whether in size will be corrected by some negative feedback that will bring the system back to its original "point of balance" with the rest of the system. ¹

Think about the size of a particular natural occurring population in nature.

However, the balance is sometimes depicted as being delicate and easily disturbed. At other times, theories suggest that it is powerful enough to correct any imbalances itself. The theory has been employed to describe the predator-prey relationships.

The balance is also applied to the relationship between the Earth's ecosystem, identifying its atmospheric composition and weather. ¹

Introducing external harmful elements can destroy the balance of the Earth's ecosystem. This, in turn, affects all living organisms that exist in and depend upon this balance of nature to survive.

Conditions such as global warming, water shortage, severe droughts, extinction of various species, overpopulation, excessive consumption of natural resources, including food sources impact every living organism on the planet.

For my project, I called upon StarryAI, the stable diffusion program to produce my version of a hammock that would swing from one side to the other. Below are my steps:

StarryAI Text input:
"hammock swinging from one end to the other."

Style: Fantasy
Runtime: 50
Seed: 9058217863

StarryAI Result:

My pure fractal titled "Colorful Eyes" added a different color and pattern to the flowers already present in the scene. Other images included an awesome discovery of an abstract image of a green male mannequin leaning against a wall. Of course, the abstract flower background was the star of the scene.

I was anxious to see how the images I assembled would blend together. I uploaded all into my design program, Canva. Below are my procedures:

Started with a blank, white canvas.

Added abstract flower image.

Resized flower image fit entire canvas.

Added image of green man in sitting position.

Removed green man's background, duplicated and respoitioned them opposite each other for effect.

Added colorful fractal. Duplicated and repositioned it.

Added stable diffusion female on a balancing hammock stable diffusion image.

Removed background of stable diffusion image. Repositioned and completed project.
