The term, “Soil” is used in many contexts, such as the mass that holds the ground we walk on, as well as when matter is defiled.
Different and harsh climates are interposed with each other in this portfolio, contrasting very wet and very dry conditions, indicating the possibilities of the changing climates that we may have to adapt to.
The illusion of an earthly blood soiling the land we have become accustomed to, intends to portray the natural state of change we are facing, in order to prepare the land for new beginnings.
The current status of our biodiversity is reported to be fragile and undergoing shifts in our ecosystems. On current trends, average global temperatures could rise by 2 - 3°C within the next 50 years, leading to severe impacts on our biodiversity, including more frequent droughts and floods, predicting as many as 150 - 200 million environmental refugees by the middle of the century (2% of projected population), and threatening the basic elements of life for people around the world, ie. access to water, food, health and the use of land (Stern Review on the economics of climate change ISBN number: 0-521-70080-9, Cambridge University Press).
Climate change is likely to occur too rapidly for many species to adapt. One study estimates that around 15 – 40% of species face extinction with 2°C of warming.
This portfolio depicts the harsh and radical environmental shifts that we may be facing.
