This collaborative publication explores environmental issues in the Arctic through a topography-inspired visual system. The project raises awareness of climate change and shifting biodiversity while prompting reflection on their broader impact on public health and global ecosystems.

Scope
Publication
The publication translates complex environmental concerns into a visual narrative centered on the image of a melting iceberg. Using a topographic approach, the design reflects transformation over time, both physically and conceptually. A central cut-out form evolves from a structured, geometric shape into a more organic and fluid form, symbolizing the transition of ice into water and the instability of the Arctic environment.
As the publication progresses, each page gradually changes in scale, reinforcing the idea that localized environmental issues expand into global consequences. While the Arctic directly affects species such as polar bears within specific regions, its impact extends far beyond, influencing ecosystems and human well-being worldwide. This progression encourages viewers to consider how distant environmental changes are closely tied to everyday life and public health. The work was exhibited at Studio Two Three in Richmond, Virginia, and was developed in collaboration with Ashley Choi.
