\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This sculpture is based on the data from the National Climate Assessment<\/a> that predicts which areas of the United States are forecasted to have the greatest change in the number of extreme heat days by the end of the 21st century. Those areas are literally melting off this map. The bronze was created by making a wax map of the United States and melting the areas of Texas through Florida with a blowtorch, then casting the melted wax as bronze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
