Vanishing Rivers

Vanishing Rivers employs real-time rendering and multi-channel imagery to depict the dynamic process of rivers transitioning from abundant flow to complete desiccation. The work shifts between macro river landscapes and micro aquatic ecosystems, capturing subtle shifts in receding water levels, exposed riverbeds, and constrained biological activity. Industrial relics intertwine with desolate terrain, symbolisinghumanity's persistent disruption of the water cycle. The work creates a tense, immersive atmosphere through the sound of water, wind, and cracking sounds, making people aware of the imbalance in the environment and thinking about the connection between the water crisis and our future lives.
