For Alarcon, It's also a shorthand way of describing our culture's current obsession with all things dystopian and apocalyptic. Climate change is often referred to as a hyperobject: so large in scope and scale that it's difficult to see or understand the entirety of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In \u003ci\u003eEndsickness\u003c\/i\u003e, each story attempts to counter that challenge by taking a close look at the individual quandaries of living in a society that seems at odds with itself, unable to face the existential threat looming on the horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSofia Alarcon\u003c\/b\u003e is a multi-disciplinary artist originally from Guatemala and now based in Kjipuktuk\/Halifax.
