Climate change leaves an imbalance in the natural world, but how do these changes impact our oceans and waterways? "Imbalance of Fire," by artists Carol Mickett and Robert Stackhouse, is a passionate warning that our waters are growing increasingly out of balance from the rise of heat-trapping CO2. The art’s contrast of fire and water emphasizes the startling shifts happening in our world.
