PRIMARY FUNCTION: Immersive Digital Art Installation
INSPIRATION: Scientists’ statistics and predictions indicate that global warming could lead to catastrophic consequences for humanity. This international environmental crisis necessitates collective action from individuals and countries worldwide.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The color palette shifts from cool to warm tones, symbolizing the distressing effects of global warming, yet the re-freezing of the text at the end of the video offers a glimmer of hope, signifying the potential impact of our collective efforts. The unique fusion of traditional ink painting with the concept of environmental consciousness propels classical ink art into the domain of contemporary art, showcasing the vitality of Chinese ink in the digital era.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Digital ink generative video art and immersive installation.
