Nature in Art
November 12, 2009 · Published in environment entertainment by rachelallen ·
Today I was scootin’ around on Youtube when I found Grizzly Bear’s new music video for “Ready, Able”. Their videos are generally pretty trippy so I wasn’t expecting anything less, but I wasn’t apprehending there to be such huge symbolism behind the video itself. I know everyone has their own interpretations, but art in particular sends a personalized quality through ones brain waves. I, myself, see this video as representing the lack of nature in our lives. Mother Nature is being sucked dry to fuel synthetic creations and her lush, green beauty is turning to raped and desolate vast lands without a pulse. I admire this video for its creative beauty and metaphorical statement.
What do you think it symbolizes?
