Great distances & borders
Since a dawn of civilization, we, the people, are creating divisions, drawing borders and lines in the sand to control each other but also to protect ourselves, mainly from one another.
With time, all those borders resulted in some obvious and some at first less noticeable differences, even among the people who had lived or live in close proximity to each other. Imposing on others own views, or defending them from invaders added more lines in the sand.
At the same time, our planet is following its own trajectory of continuous evolution, in some cases influenced by us, humans, therefore it’s additionally influencing rich mixture of diverse and complex life.
