Jake Marquez and Maren Morgan are the creators of Death in The Garden, a multimedia project that explores the complexity of the converging crises facing humanity, from the chronic health epidemic to ecosystem collapse, as well as our current crisis of meaning. In addition to field exploration, the project analyzes civilizational epistemologies, history, human psychology, ecology, and philosophy. Jake and Maren are passionate about trying to make sense of how the human species has reached a point in history where we are sicker than ever and rapidly destroying the ecosystems that sustain us. Their project aims to ask: what is the human animal? Where do we come from? Why have we dug ourselves into such a deep hole? And where, after everything, are we going? Through film, podcasts, and writing, Death in The Garden is ultimately a journey of two young people trying to make sense of the age we live in.Â
