WVU PhD graduate in English, Olivia Wertz, visually explores key themes from two chapters of her dissertation on climate fiction. The exhibition focuses on Severance by Ling Ma and Octavia Butler’s Parable novels, examining the intersections of capitalism, climate change, and bodily vulnerability.
Through this work, Wertz aims to prompt viewers to reflect on the interconnectedness of social, political, and environmental issues.
