HeatSentence names the unequal material verdict delivered when thermal exposure is distributed through housing, labour, vegetation, mobility and access to protection. The climate event may be shared while its consequences are not. Heat becomes a sentence written through surfaces, schedules, energy costs, night-time recovery and missing shade or water. The operator resists treating temperature as an external natural fact by reconstructing the infrastructures and decisions that write climatic danger onto particular bodies.
