A ZOETROPE is a cylinder object with slits on the outside and still images on the inside.  When spun, the images create the illusion of an animation.  Evolvement comments on the merging of evolution and human involvement around life, nature and communication.  The first zoetrope, Life,  begins with a pink bunny, who transforms into a human and back, while a carrot dangles above.  The second zoetrope, Nature, features the rise and fall relationship between a tree and a building.  The third zoetrope, Communication, involves a hieroglyphic symbol merging into a cell phone and a rock that forms into a wheel with shiny, gold rims.
