In the temperate climate zone, four seasons naturally alternate. Is it possible to disrupt this regular- ity? Climate change seems like a small issue today, but it is certainly noticeable and even dangerous for our future. The title Warm-Being is derived from word “well-being” where the word “well” is replaced by the word “warm”, the phrase refers to the content of the work and the importance of heat, not only local but also global. The work should be a reflection on human fragility and at the same time human insensitivity.
''By proper Shelter and Clothing we legitimately retain our own internal heat; but with an excess of these, or of Fuel, that is, with an external heat greater than our own internal, may not cookery properly be said to begin?'' H.D.Thoreau from Walden
