The Fire We Share

Abstract

The Fire We Share proposes a care-centered, consequence-aware visualization framework for engaging with wildfire data not as static metrics, but as living archives of ecological and social entanglement. By combining plants-inspired data forms, event-based mapping, and narrative layering, the project foregrounds fire as a shared temporal condition-one that cuts across natural cycles and human systems. Rather than simplifying wildfire data into digestible visuals, The Fire We Share reimagines it as a textured, wounded archive-embodied, relational, and radically ethical.
