Can we still speak of borders, when nature is in danger?
Α flag of climate emergency and a call to action to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, set within a simulated seascape based on photographs taken at the Tonga archipelago in the Pacific Ocean. With climate change, rising sea levels threaten islands and low-lying nations such as Tonga. Here, Tonga becomes a symbol for all humanity, reminding us all that climate change has no borders, and people share a common destiny.
