A frightening amount of people choose not to believe in climate change, and those who do may have a hard time imagining its effect on our planet.

Inspired by a trip to Venice, Italy, the series World Underwater explores the future of Earth. It imagines our world absolutely overwhelmed by global floods and rising waters.

While the series is surreal and dreamy, it is meant to generate discussion about and create awareness of a very real issue: climate change and rising sea levels.
