Forestate shows the real-time state of the world’s forests.
The title combines “forest” and “state” to signal that the work visualises the measured data of forests’ conditions as they are right now.
Through appearing and disappearing leaves, the artwork brings alive the data of deforestation, regeneration and recovery. Providing a sense of loss and hope at the same time.
The artwork leaves disappear and reappear, visualising the Global Forest Watch data sets that are validated by the series partner UNESCO.
Every leaf dissapearing is 100 square meters of forest lost at this moment.
Every leaf reappearing is 100 square meters of forest gained.
