"Time is Tight" presents a landscape of intense, otherworldly hues - rocky pink cliffs, a searing yellow sky, and trees frozen in vivid tones, reminiscent of fossilized remains. Through this striking palette, Olsen-Dunn amplifies the urgency behind her message on climate change. The title, despite the surreal scene, conveys hope - a reminder that, while the window to act may be narrow, there is still a chance to preserve and protect. Her layered approach, with colors and textures that appear to oscillate between organic and digital, reinforces the pressing need for awareness and action.
