Steven Spazuk and Danielle Delhaes have launched the Monarch Project, the first venture of the REVERENCE series. Reverence is a unique collection of works of art based on the traces left by living creatures, symbolizing the precariousness of animal and plant life on Earth. Rooted in the biophilia concept, REVERENCE has as its core purposes to stir viewers’ emotions, to surprise, to raise awareness, as well as to cultivate a sense of respect and wonder toward the natural world. Spazuk and Delhaes are exploring a collaborative, community-based artistic and creative process as a means of connecting Humans and Nature. Their combined artistic and educational approach brings participants in close proximity with Nature. The experience of beauty, awe, a sense of belonging, a personal connection and an emotional understanding all lead to REVERENCE for Nature.
