Eco-empathy is a photographic series that explores an emotional response to the global ecological decline, focusing on solastalgia, also known as climate anxiety, a pressing contemporary mental health issue. Through a series of circular lenticular prints and double exposure techniques, the project aims to present a personal and shared narrative with my daughter on familial sites impacted by climate change. This research project is reflective of the interconnectedness between humans and nature, promotes photography as an agency for climate consciousness, and considers the dualism and dichotomy between fragility and resilience, sustainability and decline, and frustration and hope.
