“The Last of Us” is a future inspired by Erikson’s last memory of aging and crumbling sea walls losing the battle to hold back the ever-rising tide. Tall trees atop disintegrating concrete platforms set in the middle of wide expanses of water reflect the delicate balance between land and sea — and the prison we might find ourselves not far into the future.
In a time marked by encroaching sea levels, the imperative to safeguard our remaining arboreal sanctuaries has never been more urgent. As the relentless march of climate change threatens to engulf vast swathes of land under ever-rising tides, our last bastions of greenery stand as poignant symbols of resilience and hope.
