Volcanoes, is the reason for their existence just destruction?
No…
It is more than that.
It is a reminder for humans that the soil that we walk on could be very shaky and nothing is forever.
Work we do is not forever, our efforts are not forever, science and art is not forever!
Somehow the surface continues to move. Which transforms everything…
Can we find a way to understand reincarnation of fire, smoke, and ashes?
We can somehow turn such a potential in favor of mankind and nature.
Even if volcanoes scatter death around them when they erupt, they create the most productive ecosystems of the Earth after a certain time.
Volcanoes emit high amounts of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Harmful gases can be absorbed by organic reactions or liquefied and stored. Thus, the released gases do not cause harmful effects in the outside world.
The area where the lava spreads first cools down, then cracks appear in the area, and an extremely fertile land emerges eventually depending on the amount of rainfall received.
At the same time, cities shaped by these lavas, symbolizing both death and life, are changing with these lavas for changing societies…
