In this series I am referencing the life journey of an iceberg from its birthplace at the tongue of a glacier, its dislodgment and its final destination, the ocean, where it melts into water. This process of creation and destruction is all the more pertinent as global warming increases melting. Sea levels rise, impacting on our environment. The blue colour of ice is the result of compressed ancient ice, embedded within is the history of earth’s climate. Iceland’s Vatnajökull glacier is retreating every year at an alarming rate. In this work I have tried to capture what makes this place unique.
