Part 1: Original Art by Kakoli Mitra: ‘The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations,’ digital (2025).
The Sustainable Development Goals provide a shared vocabulary and measurable targets that partially illuminate the impact of FiveBecomings projects, yet these must be reinterpreted through ecosymbiotic self-reliance, relational wellbeing, and community sovereignty beyond extractivist models of ‘development’.
Original Art by Kakoli Mitra: ‘Eight categories of interventions to effect climate resilience/stabilization,’ digital (2025).
Aspects of the impact of FiveBecomings projects on climate resilience and stabilization can be understood in part through the lens of eight categories of interventions that globally active organizations champion, from reducing fossil fuel use to increasing carbon capture.
Original art by Kakoli Mitra: ‘The experiential context of the ecoself,’ digital (2025).
The ecoself is a conceptual-practical tool intended to enable humans to develop deep awareness of their context, both experiential and dimensional, so that they can tap into and fulfill their potential as interconnected members of a symbiotically creative ecoweb.
Original art by Kakoli Mitra: ‘Ecosymbiosis within an ecoweb, depicting components of the ecoweb, the water cycle, and the energy/food cycle,’ digital (2025).
Ecosymbiotic resilience (adaptive resilience) is the ability of an ecological web (ecoweb) to tolerate (adapt itself to) a disturbance (adverse condition) and restore itself to (a new) equilibrium, mediated by Adaptation Feedback Loops involving and acting on biodiverse organisms.
