Embroidery on silk, 18 x 45 in  
 
Climate Consequences Entanglement translates geophysical climate data into a tactile, visual form through embroidery. Emerging from the image of an oil can, stitched text outlines the consequences of rising global temperatures, transforming scientific information into an intricate, layered surface. By working with silk and thread, the piece slows down the reading of climate data, inviting viewers to engage with the complexity and urgency of warming in a more intimate and reflective way. The work emphasizes the dynamic and interconnected nature of climate systems, while prompting ethical consideration of the long-term impacts of human activity.
