This artwork captures the intersection of human ignorance and the escalating climate crisis. While severe flood is happening, the students' behavior shows how education, one of humanity's greatest tools, can often fail to address the gravity of environmental collapse.

After We’re Gone explores humanity’s environmental impact and the destructive habits driving us toward our own demise amidst the climate crisis.
