Ha diqhwa di nyamela, mmala ona o ikgethang le ona wa bopherese o a nyamela. Mebala ya bopherese ya diqhwa tsa Alaska e ile ya nkuwa mehlala e be e tswakwa, ya bewa ka har'a difeittlele tse mashome a tsheletseng tse hlophisitsweng ka gare ho glase e sebediswang bocha, di lehauteng ka hodima kanevase. Nako le nako ha ho hlaha ketsahalo ya ho theoha ha diqhwa (glacier calving), feittlele e nngwe e ne e wa.

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.
Dimensions & Packaging: 4m x 6m x 6m
Tags: Glacier, climate change, light, Alaska
Production Technology: Data sonification, data physicalization, electronics, glacier melting data
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.
