Sound the Sirens encompasses the long-term effects that climate disasters have on communities across the United States, with tens of thousands of people left homeless and displaced while trying to rebuild their lives. Despite decades of warnings by climate scientists about the impact of rising temperatures on the stability of our planet, climate data is now broadly ignored in the service of capital and convenience, while risking the lives of hundreds of millions of people.
Folded between the book pages, underlying images of solar flares with orange hues leak out from within. This design experience is a reminder of the driving forces behind climate disaster, with pictures of devastation tinged with the glow of ever-growing heat.
