In Everything Connects the museum guests were invited to co produce a new piece of work as they were invited to reflect on the same concepts as in the other works of this exhibition. Here the line between the participants and the artist has been blurred. The work includes a space that is designed for participation involving a number of variables, where individuals’ behaviour is self-directed as they are reminded that everything around us exists together in a delicate balance. The humans are at the top of the food chain; therefore it is important that we understand the balance between nature and ourselves. We need to respect the life around us from the tiniest insect to the tallest trees. We need to consider the life of the planet as a gift. We should consider our reasons for utilizing natural resources and think of them as the organic matter of the earth viewed as a sacred circle of life, but not as linear growth for human satisfaction.
