Burnt Hopes

The recent wildfires in Australia, Brazil, California and elsewhere have forced hundreds of thousands of people from their homes, but also forced to millions to breathe - or try to avoid breathing - smoky air and ash particles. The intensity and frequency of these fires is compounded by climate change. We need to change our behavior and keep warming below 1.5C so our children and future generations can breathe. I made my mask by overlaying images of the fires with charred pieces of wood. These images are far too common, and we must do what we can to mitigate these mega fires.
