This wall sculpture reimagines weather data from before and after the 2024 Jasper wildfire—its absence during the blaze marking a silence in both record and landscape. Whether the monitoring station failed, burned, or was simply abandoned remains unknown, a digital void mirroring the rupture left behind.
Formed from acrylic sheet, crushed glass, resin, and layers of iridescent cellophane, the surface recalls the shifting colours of ammolite—reds, greens, and embered golds emerging through scorched transparency. The effect captures both the heat of the event and the unexpected beauty that follows devastation.
In Charred, reflection and refraction play like light across ash—reminders that data, like memory, is fragile. What endures is transformation: from ruin to radiance, from fire to fossil, from loss to glimmering trace.
