Artist's statement: “This piece was commissioned by the University of Washington Climate Impacts Group. Developed in collaboration with scientists and tribal representatives, the work acknowledges the inevitable while highlighting how we can cultivate good. From the urban West Coast to the shrubsteppe of eastern Washington, resiliency looks different in every landscape. True resiliency is not bound within the realm of science; social justice is equally as vital to every solution. The piece aims to make climate resiliency concepts more accessible. After all, before any goal can be accomplished, it must first be envisioned.” Credit: Claire Seaman, Art x Climate, Imagining Climate Resiliency in the Pacific Northwest (2021, oil on canvas) This art may only be reproduced or re-used in connection with the Fifth National Climate Assessment.
