Humanity faces unprecedented climate challenges. 'The Somnium Tapestry' visualizes a future where personalized hibernation programs intertwine with a global climate credit system. Wolski's intricate digital textile translates individual genetic data and climate contributions into a complex geometric narrative, exploring the delicate balance between individual agency and collective survival in a world reshaped by environmental necessity.

2028: Earth's climate has stabilized, thanks to the unified global government's strict population management through strategic hibernation. Society is structured around Climate Credits, earned through contributions to ecological recovery. Personalized Hibernation Programs, determined by genetic analysis and credit scores, dictate the length and timing of each individual's slumber, promising a carefully orchestrated reawakening into a restored world. Cultural expression is subdued, focused on collective well-being and the delicate balance of the planet.

Consider 'The Somnium Tapestry' a window into a potential future shaped by climate change. Are we heading towards a world where individual agency is sacrificed for collective survival? By visualizing a future intertwined with advanced technology and stringent controls, Wolski compels us to examine our current trajectory and question the long-term implications of our choices. How much are we willing to sacrifice for the future?
