Landscapes have always seemed to be a very still and steady subject. There are rarely any noticeable changes in the landscape. However, in the last few decades, it was found that the effect of the warming climate is more drastic than we could ever imagine. Glaciers are melting and the sizes of lakes are reducing every year. Through satellite observations and in situ surveys, scientists have found that glaciers are melting rapidly and losing water resources, and that glacially eroded lakes are becoming larger. The colour of landscapes are changing. On the other hand, there are lakes that are shrinking in sizes due to droughts resulting from warming temperatures.

In my project, I would like to critically engage with remote imaging, making use of Google Earth images and exploring the potential of remote imaging to extract images of places around the world and are remote, ranging from 1985 to 2022. By translating layered information into printed long strips of spread information and connecting them, I would like to create an illusion that the landscape is acting like a cycle of life where land turns into water and water turns back to land, however, in fact, the damage to the environment is irreversible and the colour cannot be changed back to its original shade. I would like to emphasise on the colour change in landscapes by extracting certain parts of landscapes in the world and laying them out in the form of a colour scale. It is bizarre that there are places gaining water and on the other side of the World there are places that are drying out. Through this project, I would like to raise the awareness of climate change through distributing remote images over a period of time and tracking the trends in the environment.
