This photographic exploration captures the poetry and fragility of nature amid the tragedy of climate change. Since 1998, mixed-media artist Diane Tuft has traveled the globe documenting the environmental factors shaping Earth’s landscapes. Her fourth monograph highlights the sublime beauty of nature, transformed by the relentless pressures of climate change, with a focus on water. Tuft contrasts global sea-level rise with the depletion of Utah’s Great Salt Lake. Compelling essays by Bonnie K. Baxter, Ph.D., and Stacey Epstein, Ph.D., enrich Tuft’s work, providing insight into its significance in the context of climate change. The exquisite photographs offer a captivating glimpse into rapidly changing landscapes. Interwoven with haiku, the collection is presented in a luxe, cloth-wrapped case featuring Tuft’s artwork of the Great Salt Lake, making it a dramatic call to action for the preservation of nature. Tuft exhibits worldwide and has works in esteemed collections, including the Whitney Museum and the Nevada Museum of Art. Her previous publications include UNSEEN: Beyond the Visible Spectrum and The Arctic Melt: Images of a Disappearing Landscape. She resides in New York City. Dr. Baxter is a Professor of Biology and director of the Great Salt Lake Institute, while Dr. Epstein specializes in twentieth-century American art and advises various art institutions.
