The laws of thermodynamics govern everything from the behavior of atoms to that of living cells, from the engines that power our world to the black hole at the center of our galaxy. Thermodynamics explains why we must eat and breathe, how the lights come on, and how the universe will end.

Paul Sen

In the project Heat: Conversations with the Sun, I investigate connections between the land and living beings. Using a high-resolution thermal camera, I look for traces of our rapidly changing thermal world.

All life shares in cycles regulated by heat. We are part of this evolution of renewal—and often—distress. By seeing only heat, the connectivity of all living beings has become clearer to me. During an era of climate disaster, I search for elemental truths that lie beyond the boundaries of visibility—those that bind human beings to one another and to the land. Through this work I consider the changing relationships between bodies, landscapes, and the atmosphere, illuminating the tension between renewal and collapse.
