Climate change is a uniquely pressing issue in the 21st century, as the inertia of decades of reckless industry barrels compounds towards the next generation. Some believe that the process is cyclical while others believe that the damage can be mitigated or even reversed; regardless, the incontrovertible fact is that humans as a whole will have to adapt to the changes regardless of its origin. These towering, flickering pillars billow upwards like clouds, reckoning the viewer with the sheer power and energy of fire and water. A sound score accompaniment contains the voices of the local community, discussing what factors lie beyond control and what other ones lie within. The sculpture entreats a greater respect and responsibility for the planet.

+ design phase: leverage midjourney and stable diffusion to generate textures and evaluate form; organize a catalog of designs and refine
+ digital iterations: translate the 2D textures and profiles into a 3-dimensional digital object, translating the "feel" of the 2-dimensional version as faithfully as possible
+ rendering: apply the texture while mapping it precisely to the complex surface morphology of the object; create an urban scene and render using lighting techniques to show glowing
