The light and shadow of responsibility

Ema Škodová

Annotation

Human activities are the driving force behind climate change, and it is humanity alone that bears responsibility for it. Unlike past climate shifts, which were natural occurrences, the current warming of our planet is the result of unsustainable human actions. Acknowledging this responsibility is key—it reminds us that if we are the cause of the climate crisis, we also have the power to resolve it. The space is conceived as a journey of realization, leading visitors from the stark reality of the consequences of our actions to a hopeful vision of a better future. A future we can shape by changing our behavior. The pavilion embodies this journey, shifting from negativity to positivity and emphasizing that recognizing our responsibility is the first step toward change.
