A series of miniature stories documenting the Earths possible responses to Human Induced Climate Change.
Premise
The Earth has developed life over aeons in an ultimate collab, building terrain, atmosphere and living beings. One of the species is out of kilter with the rest, and in a blink of the earths eye is threatening the delicate balance.
These miniature narratives rendered in stitch and costume explore the consequences and possibilities of our Earths potential actions.
