HOT WEATHER? is a photographic series that explores the lasting imprint of human activity on the environment, a visual and tactile reflection of the damage we continue to inflict on our planet. The images were not only captured, but also physically manipulated - torn, scratched, burned, and even stapled, transforming each photograph into a scarred artifact that mirrors the earth's own trauma.
Through these intentional acts of destruction, the series goes beyond representation and into embodiment. Each manipulated surface echoes the harsh realities of deforestation, global climate change, and atmospheric pollution. The marks left behind, both in the environment and on the photographs, are not accidental. They are deliberate, brutal, and honest, serving as visual metaphors for the way we exploit and harm the natural world.
The oppressive heat referenced in the series is more than seasonal, it symbolizes rising global temperatures, scorched earth, and the suffocating pressure of man-made imbalance. These images invite viewers to confront the physical and emotional weight of a warming planet, and to see environmental decay not as a distant consequence, but as a direct result of collective human behavior.
This project is both a warning and a witness. It challenges us to see beauty in discomfort, to sit with the damage, and to consider how we might change the narrative, before the marks we leave behind become irreversible
