Youngsuk SuhSunset I, 2008
“Individuals are often ‘protected’ from the direct contact [with the wildfire] and left with mediated images seen on TV and newspapers. One’s own sense of threat is replaced by the color-coded ratings determined by the authority. Once this process is established, the wildfires are no longer a threat in a real sense.
