This is the third artwork in the Climate Change series focusing on extreme weather events that are a consequence of climate change, the focus in this one being wildfires. The figure in the painting was appropriated from the 1885 Bouguereau painting entitled Le jeune bergere (The Young Shepherdess) and the imagery of the forest is from a recent photograph of a wildfire's devastation of German woodlands.
