Description
The Sun’s energy circulates through the Earth, feeding the cycle of life. Everything is connected in a natural loop which repeats, like the circular discs of magical optical toys. This perfectly balanced rhythm is disrupted by human excess, throwing the cycle out of orbit and temporarily stopping the circulation of energy in nature. The natural cycle can and will continue, only without the human race in the mix.
