This artwork speaks of the urgency of taking action to tackle the climate crisis as a global collective, and the delicate tipping point of the current moment.
 
The ‘sands of time’ within it pulsed in relation to the live global dialogue on hashtag #COP26, and now loop this 14 day discussion in perpetuity. Each light symbolises an individual's voice. The artwork shows the quantity of tweets through brightness, and AI analysis enables the sculpture to represent sentiment with colour.
 
The outer shell is made of found objects including ghost nets gathered from Dubai and UK beaches, which have been repurposed into art.
