Portraits of a Planet in Crisis

Abstract

The climate crisis makes my future, and the future of humanity, feel alarmingly precarious. I started to develop this series as a way of documenting this sensation, the chronic fear associated with climate change. But as I began approaching people to include in the project, it became clear that we do not all conceptualize climate change in the same way. To some it feels existential, but to others it feels fabricated and to many, it feels entirely beyond human control. Portraits of a Planet in Crisis explores and documents this broad spectrum of human stories that transpire within stories of environmental devastation.
