The environment serves as a fundamental life support for all living beings. However, humans are exploiting natural resources for their own benefit, leading to its degradation. This work aims to investigate human egocentrism by attributing human characteristics to natural forms. It explores themes such as empathy, egotism, and anthropocentrism. The work questions whether witnessing our own traits reflected in the natural world would prompt a different response to environmental collapse and foster a greater sense of care for the environment.
