Smoke is a graphic triptych commissioned by Mr. Teruo Kurasaki for JT's headquarters in Tokyo. Climate Change was barely beginning to enter into the general consciousness in 2006 when Al Gore's documentary 'An Inconvenient Truth' came out. During this time, Katrín Ólína was already exploring ecological themes in her work. Smoke is a reflection on waste and pollution in the environment and a critique of the Mass Consumer Society.

The triptych was produced in Tokyo and combines print and mixed media on canvas.
 Size of each piece: 2300 mm x 1650 mm.

Red : Inspired by Nick Cave's song titled 'There she goes, my beautiful World'. The end is a new beginning.

Blue : Each year a myriad of new creatures is discovered while others continue their interminable decline. We don't realise we are the protagonists in the film noir that we are watching. The game is changing and alien clouds appear in the sky.

Yellow : How many waves has the Ocean produced since Hokusai's Great Wave off Kanagawa?  What goes around comes around.
