      UV Light experiments I did 2 years ago for a project called “Beyond Mortality”. 
Modern society is obsessed with perfection – so much so that we tend to dismiss that there is a perverse beauty in death and decay and the value, at times, of creative destruction. Life cannot exist without death; death is an essential part of nature and is the circle of life that requires nature and wildlife to thrive.
There is beauty, magic and almost a romanticism that anything living can depart this life and bring a new one. Death, one of the last taboos, shouldn’t be feared, it’s a natural process that we don’t acknowledge or confront enough to allay those fears.
“Beauty can come from the strangest of places, even the most disgusting of places”. – Alexander McQueen 2011

      3/4
      To recap, COP26 had 4 aims:
•	Keep the Paris agreement
•	Finalise the Paris deal’s rule book
•	Mobilise finance for poorer countries
•	Help countries adapt to the impact of climate change
There has been a lot of criticism to what COP26 has achieved. There has been complaints over it being another event used to “have the conversation” and not to actually create change. As Greta Thunberg said, “blah blah blah”. However these are some of the takeaways:
•	Final deal commits countries to “accelerate efforts towards phasing down unabated coal power” and “phase out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies”
•	Re-commitment to goal of countries giving $100bn every year to poorer countries as compensation to poorer nations for the impacts of climate disasters 
•	Keeping the 1.5°C temperature rise target alive
Do you think COP26 was a success for the final push of tackling climate change or are we all doomed?
