Suffering

Why can't we stop climate change? Inspired by Buddha's Four Noble Truths, this work explores the connection between human behavior and climate change through three fabrics: red silk, black flannelette, and white polyester—symbolizing desire, suffering, and redemption. Encircling the red silk with black flannelette illustrates the link between desire and suffering, while the white polyester weaves through and extends upward, representing the path to liberation. Through photography, I integrate body gestures with the installation to further convey this process, inviting reflection and hope that we can learn from our mistakes and take action to mitigate climate change.
