The seas around Mumbai are warming, and with them, monsoons grow erratic, pollution intensifies, and coastal habitats unravel. The Living Shore reveals how global climate shifts manifest locally, translating ocean warming into an experience that is immediate, emotional, and impossible to ignore.
Step into a 360-degree interactive seascape where heat, city, and coastline respond to your every gesture. Abstract thermal currents, Mumbai’s skyline, and photoreal tidepools shift and reshape themselves as you move, what begins in play slowly reveals its consequence. Small motions send currents surging, stability fractures, tidepool life dissolves, and a warming ocean quietly transforms into something fragile. Climate change here is not an ending; it is a feeling.
The world inside this immersive experience evolves like the real one, continuously, and because of us. Touch-like gestures stir warming waters, break and mend buildings, or erode delicate marine habitats. An enveloping soundscape, built from underwater field recordings and the pulse of marine ecosystems, moves through the room like something breathing.
Supported by striking footage of extraordinary marine species captured by nature and wildlife photographer Sarang Naik, The Living Shore becomes a living, shifting environment shaped by heat, ocean forces, and the life suspended between them. It leaves viewers with an intimate reminder of how deeply every action is connected to the future of our shared coastline.
