SO2
a series of 12 photographs - Hahnemühle fine art print, 60x40cm, 2020
Our perception of the colour of the sky has changed. The atmosphere is full of sulphur, the air is full of dust, visibility is low and the sky is purple.
One day in the future in Stöðvarfjörður, East Iceland.
We are at a time when anthropogenic global warming has impacted our planet so much that people forgot about the first glacier which died in 2014: Okjökull. With more glaciers disappearing regularly, pressure on volcanos is released making them ready to erupt at any time, leading to perfect conditions for lowers atmospheric pressure produce strong winds and cyclones which continually stir up dust in our atmosphere.
If you want to learn more about the science behind this series of photographs and understand why the shrinking glacier on Earth could generate a high volcanic activity and see the augmentation of sulfur dioxide in the upper troposphere and stratosphere turn the sky in deep-purple, here is the reference article.
