The intense colors and pixelated textures emphasize Olsen-Dunn’s reflection on climate change, drawing from her desire to depict nature’s beauty juxtaposed with an unsettling transformation. Through exaggerated hues and a digital aesthetic, the piece portrays an altered future where the environment endures the strain of shifting climates.
