URGENCY (under my umbrella)

shown at Far Reach, Berlin, R Gallery


Merging off-the-shelve objects with some leftover timber, this sculpture offers shade on the go. The result is humorous, yet it masks a graver situation: the daunting reality of a shifting climate regime and the urgent need to temper the heat.
