About Glacier Lament Functio Primaria: Artis Constitutio
Corpus Libri: Glaciei Lamentatio est artis constitutio de glaciarum amissione facta. Pantone quattuor chartas colorum pro caeruleo glaciali enumerat, tamen in glaciebus veris hic color caeruleus varius et mutabilis est. Glaciebus evanescentibus, hic color caeruleus singularis quoque evanescit. Toni caerulei glaciarum in Alasca collecti et commixti sunt, deinde in sexaginta ampullis vitreis recyclatis super tabulam pictoriam suspensis positi. Quotiescumque eventus glaciei calvantis accidit, una ampulla cecidit. Fine exhibitionis omnes sexaginta ampullae ceciderant, picturam in tabula subiecta formantes.

- Unique Properties
- There are four color cards in PANTONE for glacier blue. However, in real glaciers, this blue color is variable and dynamic. As glaciers are disappearing, this unique blue is also disappearing. We sampled and blended the blue color from glaciers in Alaska and hung them in recycled glass vials. When one glacier calving happened, one color vial fell down. At the end of the exhibition, all 60 vials fell down, forming a painting on the canvas beneath.

- Inspiration
- Glaciers are sentinels of climate change. They are the most visible evidence of global warming today. This series of works embodies the stunning beauty, rapid change, fragility, destructive power, and magnificence of glaciers. At the same time, they challenge the audience with the dramatic, irreversible ecological damages from climate change.
