The Human Anthology

The Human Anthology is a living digital archive of voices from around the world, a media project in the spirit of Humans of New York but dedicated to our shared relationship with the Earth.

Through film and photography, it captures the stories of people encountered while travelling across countries and landscapes, asking each one a simple question: What does nature mean to you? Their answers are honest, intimate, and deeply human, reflections on beauty, belonging, loss, and the state of our bond with the natural world.

The project brings together video interviews and portrait photography, published on a dedicated platform that gives voice to ordinary people and their extraordinary connections to the Earth. Some stories become written features or essays, others are woven together into a collective documentary, a modern folklore of humanity’s dialogue with nature.

The Human Anthology is not only a website or a magazine. It is an experience, a growing map of human feeling, tracing the sublime and the sorrowful, from lives lived among the trees to those surrounded by cities of stone.
