Poisonous Beauty

 

Poisonous Beauty

Art Project by Chris Rayn · 2012 - 2017

Portraying the most poignant years of China's air pollution "airpocalypse", "Poisonous Beauty" shows images not unlike dystopian science fiction from the distant future, a symbol not just for the price of economic development at all costs, but humans' tenuous relationship with nature in the age of climate change.
