Incalescence, awash in fiery red hues, serves as a poignant symbol of climate change. Purposefully crafted from plush cotton fabric, the piece emanates warmth and insulation, capturing the essence of a moment when I laid on scorching asphalt during a protest against climate change. The deliberate use of warm tones conveys the urgency and intensity of rising temperatures. My outfit, complete with a face mask, becomes a combatant against polluted air, while the scrunchie headpiece takes on the form of a virus—signifying that the impacts of climate change are pervasive and have the potential to engulf lives.

This piece, born from a deep alignment with an environmentally-friendly lifestyle, aim to convey the gravity of climate change's impact on our planet. The intentional selection of materials, colors, and symbolism reflects a personal obligation to translate the urgency of this global issue into a tangible, visual representation.

Photographed and carefully chosen in location by me, this piece stand as visual testaments to the pressing need for environmental awareness and action.
