Love Not the World is a project based around how we as human beings view nature and how we respond to it. It contrasts the literalist Christian command for how we should react to the world, with the intuitive reply of the environmentalist.

The biblical verse 1 John 2: 15-17 states, "Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever." If we interpret this literally we find that a dichotomy is said to exist between humans and nature, and as humans we should not love what we find in this world.

On the other side of the coin is the belief that humans are not separate from our environment, and indeed are so intwined with it that there is no real distinction. By obsessively and meticulously documenting the beauty of the world, and combining it with the ultimate human symbol- the hand, the artist is making a statement that, in order to save what we have left of nature, we need to find a passionate and loving connection with it.
