A captivating portrayal of the escalating hill fire crisis in Australia. This unique artwork employs matches as its primary medium, forming a striking trend diagram that boldly highlights the relentless surge in hill fires. The matches, with their inherent symbolism of flammability, evoke a visceral connection to the subject matter. Their fiery red hue commands attention, igniting a sense of urgency in viewers. As you behold this masterpiece, the rising sea of matches serves as a stark visual testament to the pressing need for action, compelling us to awaken to the peril of climate change and its fiery consequences.
3. Red light
Brought to life through precision laser cutting. This dynamic artwork not only outlines the nation's geographical contours but also visually conveys the alarming temperature fluctuations across different regions. To accentuate the regions experiencing a yearly rise in temperature, vivid red matches are carefully affixed, creating a stark juxtaposition against the wooden backdrop. This vivid contrast serves as a powerful visual warning – a call to attention. The increasing redness signifies a heightened risk of hill fires, prompting viewers to grasp the urgency of climate change's impact on Australia and the imperative to safeguard its landscapes and communities.
