There is a theory that the moth, at night, is guided by the light of the moon, a near spiritual, unattainable, and inconceivable journey driven by biology. With the same obsessive, complicit anxiety, it flies into the biologist’s light trap. Our inability to understand or imagine what nothingness looks like is precisely what lies between us and extinction. Even our grief for Nature is masked in nostalgia for a wilderness now choreographed by humans. Although there has always been an exchange between bodies and ecosystems, since the first detonation of an atomic bomb at 5:29 a.m. on July 16th, 1945, in New Mexico, a new slew of questions has arisen regarding Nature and what is at stake in the making of livable futures.
