Beauty and disaster are often entangled—what appears luminous from a distance may reveal devastation up close. These prints shape climate data into glowing forms that mirror the duality of attraction and harm.
This series draws from the Evros wildfires in Greece, the largest ever recorded in the European Union. For more than two weeks, the flames consumed 96,600 hectares of forest, including a national park. Debate continues around the cause—human movement across borders or, more likely, the volatile mix of lightning and drought. A storm cloud image anchors the work, reflecting both human failings and nature’s fury.
A glittered plastic layer threads through the surface, shimmering like a mirage of denial. The palette—bright yellow, turquoise, and sky blue—recalls the postcard colours of Greek tourism: water, sun, sand. Yet beneath the allure lingers the weight of irreversible loss.
