Message
Super Typhoon Mangkhut, which happened in 2018, is by far the worst typhoon I have ever witnessed and experienced in my entire life. It's hard to imagine how devastating it is, knowing the enormous damage it has caused to most affected countries at that time. Perhaps it is one mere effect of the ongoing global climate change we are currently facing. After this super typhoon experience, my views about natural disasters became different, knowing there's an abrupt massive change due to climate change.
In this art craft, I used symbolism to convey the message of my art. It is composed of varying sizes of crescent clusters symbolizing a storm or typhoon with a question mark symbol on the right side. As usual, I'm asking myself the typical curious questions in mind. After this intimidating experience, what lies ahead? Is there any incoming worst than this one that will happen again soon? In short, what's next?
