As the movie annihilation highlights the subconsciousness of human nature’s self-destruction, the brand focuses on the self-destructive actions humanity has taken in recent times. As a result of acting against nature, we have been destroying the Amazon, entire cities due to the nuclear disasters in Fukushima and Chernobyl and releasing a virus from a confidential laboratory (according to the whistleblower). It is a disaster brought about by human greed. The message of the collection is clear. We need to act on these issues now and start by ourselves to bring out the butterfly effect.
