With ongoing climate-induced sea-level rise, currently estimated at approximately 0.5 meters globally over the next century, the piece extrapolates this trend to visualize a time when the sea may reach the current elevation of the gallery site.<\/p>\n<p>all images courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ryoyamada.com\/\">Ryo Yamada<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Zero Meter Above Sea Level 20000 uses timber and non-woven fiber<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Constructed over 33 days, the installation occupies a footprint of 4.2 meters by 4.2 meters within the 7-meter-wide by 6-meter-deep gallery.
