“1.5°C: The Red Threshold”
The sun bears down, and the city begins to boil. Humanity now stands before an irreversible threshold—a global temperature rise of 1.5 degrees.
In this work, landscapes are stripped into black and white, while red remains as both warning and testimony. It marks the fragile boundary between what may still survive and what could soon be lost. Through these red points, lines, and planes, I seek to give form and temperature to the abstraction of “1.5 degrees” — not as data, but as the fragile warmth upon which life barely persists.
