Based on the theme Locally/Globally, my startingpoint for this project was the northernmost part of Baffin Island. My aim was to find some kind of connectedness between this fifth biggest island in the world and Gothenburg in Sweden, in which I am living right now.
For me the choice was easy. It had to do with climate change. How the ice is melting and how it affects us and our nearby surroundings. This piece is both terrifying and dangerous but also fragile and beautiful.
It is made from 14 individual photos symbolizing a glacier and the rockformations after the ice has gone. The rockformations shown in the photos are from our last ice age and has been documented in Keillers Park in Gothenburg.
Printed on water slide decal paper and transferred onto acrylic glass, the semitransparent photos has been spiked with thick headless nails. A brutal handling of something very vulnerable.
