THE LAST PERSON ON EARTH

EXTINCTION-In biology and ecology, extinction is the end of an organism or of a group of organisms (taxon), normally a species. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the group (From Wikipedia)

Our project is to use this theme in regard to the human race. What would it be like to be the last person on Earth? What would it mean to be the last example of the human race? Is it a post- apocalyptic environment? Do you try and prolong your life by any means necessary? Is it a cosmic Joke?

There are multiple ways to approach this theme. Some inspiration in movies and art are below.
