Ís

Traveling to Iceland, I was introduced to the beauty of Ice and how it is affected by the quality of light in that part of the world. It was an amazing sense of calmness and quiet that I experienced there, and this series of images is a study of that light and the stillness it brings. I have coupled these transparent images with light panels to capture a bit of that experience of light and that subtle feeling of loosing the sense of where you are. A surrounding photographic wall takes that even further, recreating that feeling that is represented this time by images form Antarctica, where the solitude and the stillness are at the same time both haunting and beautiful
