About When Once the Sky was Blue
In the not-so-distant future, the world has been consumed by darkness. Three cloaked figures beckon you: ‘Do you remember when the sky was blue?’
This immersive web experience explores eco-grief and collective trauma during the Anthropocene. Through poetry, visuals, and immersive sound, you are guided through three ecosystems from the comfort of your home, encouraging mindfulness practices.
