The project:
"Breathe" is an ongoing project started in 2020 aimed at exploring the importance of carbon sinks and their preservation, combining creative and visual research with academic enquiry.
In the Anthropocene age of climate change, carbon sinks have become a topic at the forefront of research in many disciplines. So far, artists, despite being actively involved in ecological issues, have not explicitly focused on exploring carbon sinks through research projects and artistic practice. A creative approach to carbon sinks is, therefore, not only possible but timely and necessary, to reach wider audiences using alternative communication techniques.
The photos included here are 'portraits' of plants forming the peat bog in the Forsinard Flows Reserve in the Scottish Highlands.
