    nature ~asmr~

    nature ~asmr~ is an abstract, unsettling depiction of our perception of the true state of nature in a technologically-dependent society. Constantly we fall into the welcoming, loving arms of the internet, and we let it lull us into oblivion through gentle whispers and tapping noises. A combination of massive audiences and massive ignorance, video-streaming services provide us just the right ingredients for global mindlessness. CONTAINS GRAPHIC CONTENT. Best watched with headphones on.
