DescriptionFrom Light Work Arko Datto's epic three-part series chronicles the lives of those living in the world's largest delta, variously known as the Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna Delta. Climate change has rapidly put this immense region and its inhabitants in danger. Even as the artist summarizes the complexity and scale of the challenges confronting both, he knows his time with this landscape is fleeting. This image is from THE FINAL WAVE, the second chapter of Datto's three-part series, Shunyo Raja (Kings of a Bereft Land).
