A climate art installation by Indian artist Aakash Ranison will melt when the temperature hits a particular mark, showcasing how it's living art.
Below 2° isn’t just art—it’s a warning. Built from 1000 repurposed golf balls from the Karma Lakelands’ Golf Course in India this 5-foot globe is hand-painted by school-children, the very generation that will inherit our planet. The structure is fused with a special wax blend that melts at 53°C, mirroring the planet’s fragility under rising temperatures. As the heat intensifies, the installation distorts, offering a haunting glimpse into our climate reality.
Encircling the globe, 14 3D-printed endangered species from the IUCN Red List remind us of the biodiversity at risk. If global temperatures rise above 2°C, entire ecosystems—and this installation—could collapse.
