Natural vs Artificial

photography by petra kodym 2005

"Are artificial or man made things and goods natural?" is P.P.Queen asking herself again and again. If you see it on a large scale point of view everything that exists on planet earth,or if you want to go further in the universe, has to be natural. How can it exist if it wasn´t natural? Through magical power from outer space, supernatural phenomenon? Man is nature, the raw materials are nature, so everything that is made by man using raw material has to be the same.
The people in P.P.Queens World always talk about themselves and nature, about this being artificial and that being natural.
"Strange world that I´m living in!" the Queen often thinks.
