The image titled *Tuvalu 2050* shows a penetrating, surreal vision of the future in which wooden houses float underwater, held by long, dark roots or cables. The warm lights in the windows contrast sharply with the chilly, blue-green underwater world they are in. Between the cottages, fish swim quietly through the image, as if this scene is part of a new, aquatic reality.
This composition poetically depicts the possible consequences of climate change and rising sea levels. Tuvalu, a Pacific island state, is sketched here as a sunken society - the cottages as silent witnesses of what once was. The lights suggest life or memory, as if the inhabitants are still there, somewhere between past and future.
The rays of light breaking through the water from above give the scene a dreamy, almost spiritual feel. *Tuvalu 2050* is not only a visual exploration of a conceivable future, but also a silent warning. The work invites reflection on our relationship with nature, impermanence and the importance of protecting vulnerable communities worldwide.
