“Disappearing Tranquility”
Concept |
I have keenly become aware of how humanity is scrambling rich wildernesses in the Antarctic region due to climate change. Icebergs are melting, and sea lives are disappearing. Being an empathetic person, I explores the tension between the rigidity and fragility of the tranquil nature, which is in desperate need of caring otherwise disappearing forever.
