Displacement

Displacement is a diptych that depicts a topographic landscape that demonstrates the harsh reality of climate change and the beauty of a new environment. We demonstrated environmental changes by encasing handcrafted candle sculptures in resin. The second piece portrays the change of landmasses by applying fire and melting them down. Our handmade elements bring life to an otherwise static representation of various biomes and pool together a rich, textured terrain. The dimension of each frame is representative of the map sizes sailors used in the past.
