CONCEPT:

When I visited Fiji in early 2020, Cyclone Sarai tore through its islands. My stay manifested itself into a devastating wake-up call for climate change. 2°C Earth, in turn, began as a rallying cry for our warming world. It took shape in the form of a visual guide that explores five locations around the world whose natural and cultural heritage is threatened by climate change. Created to be visually engaging, auditorily immersive and easily digestible for audiences disengaged from our climate crisis, this interactive experience hopes to educate and inspire more people to join the collective fight for our future.
