Title:Ice 24, from the Series Glaciers Ice 24, from the Series Glaciers Patagonia, Chile 2008. The series Glaciers is based in a dialogue that questions public consciousness, the importance of time, of life and death, headed in the direction of natural disasters. A scary path to portray reality, the series Glaciers is a constant discovery process. Drawn and sculpted by the ocean and the wind, these dramatic natural shapes immortalized by photography will never be captured again. They are ephemeral witnesses of the immense environmental devastation that is occurring on our planet. Not knowing for how long, is the mystery of time; at the crossroad where life and death meet and from a different perspective, these glacier images invite us to see what will no longer exist and what has already melted. The intention of the series Glaciers is to revisit these environments as they melt into the past and project into the future questioning the publics awareness of the importance of time, life and death. The sense of disappearing makes each photograph more intimate, therefore creating a more vital bond with the audience. The disappearing is what will stay in our memory and is what makes us see our world from a different perspective.
