Archaea are among the oldest life forms that originated on Earth and have been around for more than 3.5 billion years. These microorganisms can survive and thrive in extreme environments and conditions thanks to their distinct cellular membrane composition. They are found in volcanos and geysers where temperatures can exceed 110 degrees Celsius and deep in the oceans withstanding high pressure.
Archaea are friendly creatures as, unlike bacteria and viruses, they are not pathogenic and do not cause infectious diseases. Moreover, they play a key role in managing the Earth’s ecosystem by facilitating carbon and nitrogen cycles in nature. But what role does humanity carry in itself for this planet?
The collection "I am planet Earth" aims to remind each of us that we are all part of this planet and that by destroying everything around us, we are destroying ourselves.
