I would like to learn more about the importance of ritual in the face of major climate-related events, and the specific ritual that is being performed here. I think this would give more insight into the awareness of climate change and actions performed by different people to combat or cope with change.
I think the caption could be expanded. As I noted earlier, a whole essay is embedded in this visualization. I would like to see more elaboration of the term, "political apathy" as I think that's such a weighted, rich frame for understanding this image.
The caption is quite brief and could be elaborated in different ways to extend the ethnographic message. It would be interesting to know more about the political situation that is described, as well as the place that is mentioned, Chennai. What is the extend of the flooding and the water scarcity, how many people are affected, what are their experiences? What is this ritual and how can we understand it in this context?
