The Breaks (A Matter of Degrees)

Fragmented circles form rows of abstracted wave shapes. Each row contains one more wave than the last. The wave-forms come in four "breaks" - plunging, collapsing, spilling, or surging. The waves can face right or left, and can be normal or simulate the collapse of the AMOC. The 12 palettes (11 chosen, 1 random) are inspired by our impact on the biosphere, by the flags of some places we are at risk of losing, and by colours of Ed Hawkins' climate stripes.
