Sarah Palmer is based in Toronto, Canada. Her work straddles the realm of journalism and fine art, questioning the conventional limits that both of these worlds hold for the viewer and artist alike. ‘Wish You Were Here’ explores vacation culture amidst the climate crisis, and how it plays, often unconsciously, into what’s known as last-chance tourism. This is a trend whereby travellers visit destinations that are being irreparably changed by the climate crisis and will eventually vanish altogether. The more tourists who visit these environments, and the more widespread the climate crisis becomes, the more last-chance tourism grows.
