Human behaviour affects not only people, but land, water, air, and all living creatures. With ever-increasing global contamination and loss of pristine natural worlds, \u200bwe will continue to get sicker and sicker. Our world is changing fast. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Today, we are witnessing the initial dire consequences of climate change: fire and flood events on a scale previously unknown. Evident throughout her work is Marie\u2019s hope that we can forge and maintain a long-term ecological equilibrium with the world around us.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-large-font-size\">LeBlanc\u2019s approach to photography \u2013 creating thought-provoking images to raise awareness\u2013 \u200bis a central element of her practice.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-large-font-size\">The <em>End of The End of Time<\/em> begins with images of health, sustenance, tranquility, and balance.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-large-font-size\">The viewer is then confronted with depictions of ecological injury and peril; Marie\u2019s technique of layering translucent imagery provides an ethereal sense of foreboding and complexity.
