About Glacier Lament Kazi ya Msingi: Usanifu wa Sanaa

Maandishi ya Kitabu: Glacier Lament ni usanifu wa sanaa kuhusu upotevu wa barafu za milimani (glaciers). Pantone inaorodhesha kadi nne za rangi kwa ajili ya buluu ya barafu, lakini katika barafu halisi rangi hii ya buluu ni tofauti na yenye mabadiliko. Barafu zinapopotea, rangi hii ya kipekee ya buluu nayo hupotea. Sampuli za vivuli vya buluu vya barafu za Alaska zilichukuliwa na kuchanganywa, kisha kuwekwa katika chupa ndogo sitini za kioo kilichorejelezwa zilizoning'inizwa juu ya turubai. Kila wakati tukio la kubomoka kwa barafu (calving) lilipotokea, chupa moja ilianguka. Kufikia mwisho wa maonesho, chupa zote sitini zilikuwa zimeanguka, na kutengeneza mchoro juu ya turubai iliyokuwa chini yake.

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.
