This series is an on-going project between myself and well-known artist, Diane Burko. We initially began working together in 2017, and produced the first chapter of this project as part of Diane’s “Kai’Apapa” (to the reefs) project. From that point on, we have come together to explore and further the conversation about how the natural world is impacted by climate change, from Diane’s field observations of salt flats, lithium fields and sandstorms in Chile’s Atacama Desert, to the ever-growing threats of wildfires and mass deforestation.

Each of these circular presentations are referential - providing multiple interpretations from a “portal” view under water to an aerial perspective from a satellite, or a microscopic glance into the movements of polyps. The resulting images are both beautiful and compelling, physically and emotionally engaging the viewer.

Diane’s career has spanned more than 40 years, and she is renowned for investigating monumental and geological phenomena throughout the world - both on the ground and from the air. Her work connects art and science, and in her own words, she is "inviting audiences to emotionally engage with environmental change where scientific data alone may leave many perplexed.”
