lt;p〉SINK / RISE is the third chapter of The Day May Break, NickBrandt's ongoing global series portraying people and animalsthat have been impacted by environmental degradationand destruction. This third chapter focuses onSouth Pacific Islanders impacted by climate change andserves as a stark reminder of the looming reality manyisland nations face. The local people in these photos, photographedunderwater in the ocean off the coast of theFijian islands, symbolize the many people who stand tolose their homes, land and livelihoods in the coming decadesas the water rises. The images-all shot in-camera underwater-are hauntinglybeautiful. But beyond the immediate visual impact,Brandt's work delves deeper, asking: how did we get here?What does the future hold for these communities? Andhow can we mitigate, if not reverse, the damage? Brandt'semphatic portraits bridge the often abstract concept of climatechange and are a reminder that behind every statisticabout rising sea levels, there's a tangible human story.
