WATER RETURNS


IDEAS Campus Technical Elective
Fall 2020
Location: Siteless
Prof. Nathan Su +  Partner Jieyi Zhang
This project explores the back-end of our daily life. Investigating some of the results of our everyday actions, our team identified ocean waste as a problem in both our coastal cities LA and Tangshan. The final project is a visual narrative set in the not-too-distant future: the crisis of oceanic pollution has escalated to the point that dirty water and trash force the closure of coastal beaches around the world and return to us as sea levels rise.

Please watch this 1 minute short with audio for this narrative on display.
