(An 1816 Summer)

In 1816, the eruption of Tambora volcano in Indonesia caused a phenomenon known as "Year Without a Summer". This leads to global temperature decreases, creates extreme weather conditions and changed the sky color to reddish and orange, which was caused by the ash and sulfur dioxide released.

This event had a significant impact on the natural world. The unusual sky color during that year had a profound effect on the way people lived, it also captured the attention of many artists and scientists who recorded the impact of the sky color on nature.
People often find red sunset skies to be beautiful and desirable, but in 1816, the red sky was a result of a natural disaster that caused destruction and hardship. I alter the sky color to reflect on the impact of environmental issues on our natural world. This project aims to raise awareness about the long-term consequences of human actions on the environment and the delicate balance of nature.
