A standard thread all through her work is the idea of “solastalgia” — a time period coined by environmental thinker Glenn Albrecht to explain the emotional and existential misery brought on by environmental change.

These delicate tensions invite the viewer to think about their very own contradictory relationship to their atmosphere and present local weather disaster.
