In summary, this is why the Art Nouveau aesthetic matches Solarpunk. Both movements are anticapitalist, have an innate appreciation for nature, and are about making the world a better place for everyone rather than merely a select few.

For this reason, I like that much of the Solarpunk movement is influenced by Art Nouveau. I really hope it continues that way.

Unfortunately, the blossoming Art Nouveau movement was killed off around the time of World War I and never properly recovered.

Now, it's considered to be a thing of the past. Capitalism teaches us that things which are old and pretty are also expensive and that they are only for the wealthy to enjoy. We've been indoctrinated to believe this.

Do NOT believe this. Beauty is not for the rich or for a select few. Beauty is for everyone.

Contrary to popular belief, nature does not abhor a vacuum.

99.9999999999999999999958% of the universe is completely empty. Give or take.

And the 0.0000000000000000000042% of the Universe which isn't empty is made of atoms – but atoms themselves are actually 99.9999999996% empty!

So everything is mostly nothing really.

When you look at it that way, it’s easy to justify eating an entire tub of ice cream.
