In order to make readers more involved in the story, I will try to add some photos of real life into the picture. So this picture book is a combination of photos and illustrations, giving the whole picture book style a sense of realism, which I think is a good way of presentation.

The Mushroom at the End of the World is a good proof of this point. This book tells the story of the plant that Matsutake grows accidentally due to human logging of forest trees, and Matsutake cannot be artificially raised, which is very precious. Therefore, humans see its economic value and form an industrial chain that can generate high income.Just like endangered creatures today, not only are their natural environments destroyed, but they are also threatened by being hunted and sold.
In light of this, I began to think about a future in which biodiversity continues to decline, when giant creatures like matsutake suddenly appear in the human world. How will humans coexist with giant creatures driven by a society that puts economic interests first?

# data[].attributes.body
My story mainly involves the fact that in the future, driven by economic factors, hunting and trafficking have reduced the number of biological species. In order to maintain survival, a new profession has emerged, which is called a biological detector. The destruction of ecology by human beings has, by chance, led to the emergence of new giant life forms in the world. Humans have helped them build a paradise in the name of "conservation", and even the dreaded megafauna is not immune to some people wanting to profit financially from it. To reflect, under the anthropocentrism background, human beings to other life inequality.

In the second creation, I created a paradise about megafauna from a human perspective. It's hard for me to make them big with ceramic, so I can only make smaller objects to reflect "big". However, the item is too small, coloring and firing out of the color is difficult to control. Although this experiment made me think that ceramics was not a suitable way to continue the output of my main project, it gave me inspiration for the story of the project.

Based on the research direction of my main project, I first attempted to create a symbiotic organism of flowers and octopuses using ceramics. But there are some difficulties in making details, as small parts are prone to breakage.

Both of these two picture books have adopted the method of combining illustrations and photos, and the picture books combined with the cartoon diary made me feel very real, as if I had experienced the stories described by the author together.
Another book, Alice by suzy lee, also combines illustration and painting, but she chooses some pictures that look a little scary, giving the story a sense of absurdity and cinema.

Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic who is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre.  He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States, and of American literature.  He was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story, and is considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre, as well as a significant contributor to the emerging genre of science fiction.

The journal novel is a unique form of the novel genre, which takes the form of diary as the basic structure of the novel. This kind of novel mostly uses the first person in the way of narration. It narrates events, develops plots and portrays characters in the way that the protagonist sees, hears and feels.

# data[].attributes.body
As the author, I will be writing a diary novel to discuss "how humans coexist with huge rganism in an apocalyptic setting," using huge organism to refer to creatures that are on the verge of extinction.     From the perspective of an ordinary person in the future, I will describe the process from people's first contact with "huge organism" to conflict and mutual understanding, and finally to the establishment of shelter and the formation of "symbiosis".
Purpose: The phenomenon of biological extinction cannot be reversed, if in the future, when we face a global nature crisis, anthropocentrism can be changed to create a common refuge and symbiotic relationship.

During the reader group, we went to bishopsgate institute, where the staff showed us a lot of old things about the former London, including maps of the former London, many versions of guidebooks and so on. However, I was most interested in the old diaries about the former residents. Although some people's diaries are just simple records, I think reading these ancient diaries can make my method more close to the life of that era, with a sense of reality. Therefore, I want to use the form of diary novels to complete the story of the main project.

A lot of Marine life is endangered by human economic activities, just like coral bleaching events, humans harm the ocean, Marine species extinction, biodiversity reduction.  It's not just the damage to these species, but also the impact of reduced biodiversity on human life.  If the food chain and agricultural production are damaged and the economy is affected, human beings may also face the shortage of food, medicine and other resources, which may be accompanied by the spread of diseases and eventually have to face unprecedented human crisis.

For humans, apart from visual impact, the strong emotion towards giant animals also comes from ancestral genes.  While humans fear giant animals, they also try to conquer them.  As early as 1995 Nobel Prize winner paul crutzen proposed that "the main geological force shaping the earth is no longer rivers, ice or wind, but human beings.  In 1952, the ics declared that the Earth had entered the Anthropocene Period, and that the negative effects of human beings on the planet were irreversible.  Rising sea levels due to carbon dioxide emissions, coral bleaching, and practical problems were proving that humans could not coexist with living things.  In contrast, species extinction would affect human society.  As danny j haraway said, "Today the earth is full of asylum seekers, but there is no refuge", species extinction is a disaster for all living things, but most of the time, human beings always put themselves in a position to be protected, which is worth reflecting on.  Therefore, I want to propose that when the future giant appears in human society, How do we get along?

Amid escalating ecological destruction, the multispecies feminist theorist Donna J. Haraway proposes new ways to reconfigure our relationship with the Earth and all its inhabitants. She avoids calling our current era the Anthropocene, preferring instead to conceptualize it as what she calls Chthulucene, because it is a more appropriate and comprehensive description of our age, in which humans and non-humans are inextricably linked in tentacular practices. Haraway explains that Chthulucene needs to be symbiotic or with symbiosis, not automatically poetic or self-creative. Learning to live and die together on a damaged planet will prove more conducive to the kind of thinking that provides the means to build a more livable future.

Human's felling of trees interferes with nature and leads to the production of matsutake. However, matsutake cannot be farmed and is the product of anthropocentrism. Under the influence of capitalism, matsutake forms a complete commercial chain and is sold at a high price.

Coral bleaching events and the subsequent loss of coral coverage often result in the decline of fish diversity.   The loss of diversity and abundance in herbivorous fish particularly affect coral reef ecosystems.  As mass bleaching events occur more frequently, fish populations will continue to homogenize.   Smaller and more specialized fish species that fill particular ecological niches that are crucial for coral health are replaced by more generalized species.

The leading cause of coral bleaching is rising ocean temperature due to climate change.

Humans kill whales for economic gain. And in the process of human industrialization, industrial wastewater is discharged into the sea. Carbon dioxide emissions cause global warming, sea levels rise, and Marine biosecurity is endangered... It will also affect the lives of other species in order to produce and develop.

Japan still kills whales.  Once whales become extinct, the number of fish and shrimp in the ocean will increase, and they rely on phytoplankton as food.  The oxygen produced by Marine phytoplankton accounts for 70% of the global oxygen source.  Once the fish flood, the decrease of phytoplankton may lead to a global disaster event.
