Churning Seas

Churning Seas investigates the impact of climate change on fragile marine ecological networks, positioning the ocean as a sensitive indicator of global warming. Through multi-channel moving image and an immersive soundscape, the work constructs a fluid and unsettled sensory field where rising sea levels, melting glaciers, coral bleaching and extreme weather events continuously overlap and expand. Viewers are placed inside the ocean’s audiovisual dimension, encountering the tension, vulnerability and rhythms of ecological collapse. 
 

Drawing from satellite data, field recordings and simulated imagery, the piece blurs the boundaries between the natural and the artificial, revealing the deep imprint of human activity on planetary cycles. More than a visual representation of environmental crisis, Churning Seas creates an embodied experience of disrupted symbiosis, prompting audiences to reconsider the evolving relationship between humans and the ocean, and between technological systems and the natural world.
