One Giant Great Flood 2050 (2012) by Tiffany Chung 

We moved to the middle of the Mekong Delta and happened to be there during the historic flood of the Mekong River in 1978. As a very young child, the only memory I had of this was of an enormous broad sea of water. So growing up I could never seem to get rid of this image of rising water. However I forgot about this story until recently, when last year there was considerable media attention in Vietnam about China building eight hydropower dams in the upper reaches of the Mekong River and how that might affect the lower regions of the Mekong Delta. That’s when I started to remember this story

Her work speaks of this innate connection between our memories and the landscapes around us.

I love Tiffany Chung’s subjects. Deeply rooted in research qualities - the stories told by each map are specific but telling of a condition within our urban environment.
