Increased temperatures,
low precipitation levels, and decreased soil moisture are strongly contributing
to the spread and frequency of wildfires. Although wildfires occur naturally, our shifting environmental reality
has essentially turned forests into kindling for wildfires. This has resulted
in the destruction of animal habitats, entire communities, and many natural resources.
The top right corner of my remixed image suggests a window and a metaphor for how much of society witnesses these events taking shape – through T.V., magazine and news sources. Fortunately, most people in the United States are exempt from experiencing wildfires first-hand.

I incorporate
images of lush forests, flower growth, and hikers as a reminder of what was
lost in the path of fire.
