The violent weather events become the crime scene, while the fingermarks of human culpability mar the surface.

Cornelius uses violent weather as a point of connection in performative activism and public collaboration. She takes her images to climate strikes and community events asking the public to add their fingermarks as performative gestures of culpability and accountability.
