The Breathline Project is creating hundreds of ceramic ‘sediment cores’ personalized with the breathlines and stories of scientists working at the forefront of ocean, earth, and climate science. A breathline is a simple drawing of one's inhale and exhale—and the beginning of a story. I interview scientists and guide them through making individualized ‘sediment cores‘ out of clay inscribed with their individual breathlines and other elements that help tell their story. Together, these ceramic pieces tell a bigger story of human effort and resilience, and will be displayed in public spaces.

This project stands as a record—a timeline of the scientific work and human effort to prevent and prepare for ecological and climate tipping points by 2030.
