According to the IPCC, if we do not change course within twelve years, we will reach the point of no return. Despite growing awareness, our cities suffocate in smog, rivers are poisoned, and oceans hold more plastic than fish. We are moved by images of dying animals and burning forests — then we forget, distracted by the next story.

Through a simple yet powerful gesture, poised between ritual and activism, the performance questions our inertia and reveals what will remain if we persist on this path: a vast, silent heap of ash.
