The term Anthropocene is used to define Earth’s current geologic time period as being human-influenced, or anthropogenic, based on global confirmation that atmospheric, geologic, hydrologic, biospheric and other earth system processes are being altered by humans. Mirror, Map & Crystal Pyramid explores the genre of Anthropocene fiction by connecting together an image of the downfall of Valhalla, a step-by-step guide to making an origami paper crane, and a geometric model of a crystal pyramid structure. In Norse mythology Valhalla is an enormous hall ruled over by the god Odin, to which half of those who die in combat travel upon death.
