Manifesto for the Symbiocene: A Call to Reimagine Our World

Works on paper

We, inheritors of fractured Earthscapes, rise from the Anthropovoid—a void born of disconnection, apathy, and a mechanistic gaze. Here, in the shadow of Ecoclasm, the sharp shards of shattered ecosystems pierce our consciousness. Carbon Phantasm, spectral and relentless, lingers in our skies and veins, whispering warnings we can no longer ignore.

This is a cry, not a lament—a declaration forged from Pollutialchemy and Seraphic Rooting, where ruin becomes seedbed and despair finds its counterpoint in deliberate renewal. Beauty, raw and revelatory, is our guide. We reject the Anthropovoid’s hollow promises and turn instead to the lush possibility of Terra Sophia.
