Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Nature and Us

The first image of the sidewalk in Redfern highlights how, although we have this man-made pavement and buildings, nature always surrounds us. The overarching leaves and twisted branches within view show how we are always connected to nature. The man-made and nature existing within an image conveys a harmonious coexistence between the two, portraying the ebb and flow of life, growth and regeneration - the cycle of life. This is similarly shown in the plane view and satellite image of the Eiffel Tower however, nature mainly occupies this space and man-made elements are merely just a speck in comparison. This incites one to consider how nature has existed since time immemorial and has actually provided us with the tools to build man-made structures seen in the images.
