Oleksandr Sirous. Pocket Kemeri

16.10.2025.

Pocket Kemeri AR is a handheld portal into the living peatlands of Ķemeri National Park. Through your phone, you meet mosses, waters, insects as co-actors shaping a fragile system. The bog “breathes” – storing CO₂ and slowly cleaning the air – but its capacity isn’t infinite. Disturbance, drought or careless use can flip this sponge into a ticking carbon time-bomb. The project turns observation into responsibility: interact, listen, and learn how small choices ripple across the wetland so we protect what protects us.
