In A Realm for Reflection, Sebastian Gonzalez contributes to broader conversations on climate change by examining specific sites of environmental transformation using digital media. Whether focusing on the bacterial makeup of the Charles River in Boston, the melting glaciers of the Tolima volcano in Colombia, or rising sea levels around coastal cities, Gonzalez's body of work calls attention to dramatic shifts in topography and worrisome variations in climate. Yet in addition to highlighting various transnational environmental concerns, Gonzalez finds ways to more closely involve the viewer, and himself, in the work – going beyond simply identifying our role in manufacturing the crisis, and instead facilitating a closer engagement with the content, the digital media that articulates it, and the outdoor spaces that many of works were presented in initially.
