Hold On

In the Himasaila Project, I am interested in the connection between a global event such as climate change and its implications and understanding on a regional scale. Our perception of interconnectivity of events is in constant flux, which affects our ability to construct a clear, broad and comprehensive image. We tend to focus on large-scale, often catastrophic singular events and their immediate local impacts, but often struggle to grasp their broad and far reaching effects.

The form of Iceberg made of ice and cloth is amorphous, surreal and symbolic. The installation will play on the unusual juxtaposition of form and material to create a sense of paradox. The cold emanating from the structure and the sound of dripping water heightens a multi-sensory experience, emphasizing the ongoing process of change in time and the lack of stability. Over time, the mass of the installation will shrink dramatically, affecting its shape.

Through this work, I am creating an overwhelming experience for the viewer and at the same time an aesthetically compelling piece, which inspires contemplation.
