While working on a personal project in 2024, I joined a sailing expedition through Greenland’s Scoresbysund, photographing icebergs and glaciers. Shortly after, Flaunt reached out for a shoot tied to the theme of Transience—an idea that had been on my mind while immersed in that changing environment. Once dismissed as inhospitable and of limited value, the Arctic now stands as a stark symbol of impermanence, both geological and geopolitical. For the story, I captured melting sculptural ice forms to reflect how these remote elements have become crucial to understanding our shifting world.
