In Delhi, smoke is a season.

Every year it returns. So does the question: Whose fault is it?

The research already exists, and it points to a much more complex problem.

Delhi’s air pollution is environmental, social, ecological, logistical, geological, and cultural all at once.

We tend to talk about these conditions separately, but they come together in the air we breathe.

Breathing Delhi visualizes these conditions together as parts of a single system. It traces how air pollution moves and builds from October to December, how people are exposed to it in their daily lives, and what different interventions might change or leave unresolved.
