Depicting farmers laboring under the looming threat of a storm, the work captures the vulnerability of communities whose lives are closely tied to the rhythms of weather. At the same time, it reveals a quiet resilience — a steadfast endurance deeply rooted in the cultural landscapes of Southeast Asia.

In a world shaped by climate volatility, accurate and timely weather warnings are vital shields of protection. And art, in its own way, helps us to see and feel these challenges — inviting reflection on our shared fragility and the urgency of collective action.
