Bloom & Doom is a compact zine of ink drawings by Murat Cem Mengüç, unfolding a dark parallel between the Late Devonian mass extinction and what the artist names the Traumacene: a self-conscious, premeditated ecocide. Moving between scientific history and speculative reflection, the drawings trace algal blooms, extinction, and fossil memory as mirrors of the present moment—where the organism responsible for collapse is also the one documenting it.
