About Glacier Lament Umsebenzi Ophambili: Umfaniso Wobugcisa
Isihloko Sencwadi: I-Glacier Lament ngumfaniso wobugcisa omalunga nokulahleka kweglaciers (amaqhwa amakhulu). I-Pantone idwelisa amakhadi ombala amane kwibala eliluhlaza le-glacier, kodwa kumaqhwa okwenyani lo mbala oluhlaza uyahamba yaye uyaguquka rhoqo. Njengoko amaqhwa esitshabalala, lo mbala oluhlaza ongafaniyo nawuphi na naye uyanyamalala. Amabala aluhlaza asuka kumaqhwa aseAlaska athathwa iisampula waze wadityaniswa, wagcinwa kwiivayeli zeglasi ezingamashumi amathandathu ezenziwe ngokutsha ezixhonywe phezu kwe-canvas. Ngalo lonke ixesha kusenzeka isiganeko sokuqhekeka kweqhwa (i-calving), ivayeli enye yayiwa. Ekupheleni komboniso, zonke iivayeli ezingamashumi amathandathu zaziwile, zenza umzobo phezu kwe-canvas engezantsi.

- 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.
