Afloat
2.The second picture I took because I saw these rocks after a rain from a certain angle and they reminded me of floating ice fields in the arctic. I placed two small ice cubes to capture the irony of real ice on an imposter ice field. It reminds me of the idea of ice or glaciers “in the wild” may become something like a panda bear in a zoo, only recreated by people to create something lost to climate change. Along this train of thought, I remembered the wide variations in projections in Serreze’s paper, and others, for the future of our planet and wonder how different it could become from the world we know now. That’s why I titled the picture “afloat” because it captures the feeling of being afloat between what we know now and cannot stop but do not know of the future, wishing we can save what is melting before our eyes. I also think it captures the scale of ice in many different ways. For instance, how little we think about the importance of ice in our day to day actions (ice cubes) and the impact that ice and Polar Regions actually play (surroundings).
