Those photos strongly express the style and atmosphere the glaciers convey, their power and recent weakness, the frightening depth of their developing fissures, with their forms and shapes like frozen clouds.
As one enters that kingdom of ice, the risk to be crushed is high, traveling through the labyrinth of the crevices from all possible angles.
Inspirational storytelling will result in a strong photo feature, photo exhibition, photo book and a feature film. Those artistic images will contribute to document and archive the power and importance of these fading forces of nature. The Art work “The Trauma” is the latest example of this crisis, as the green cave crushed during the summer 2022 in French Alps.
I want to give today and future generations the possibility to appreciate their beauty and understand their importance on our Earth before they disappear.
Those multimedia archives are to serve as intellectual, moral and social tools to individuals of various ages and classes, giving a worldwide audience the capacity to apprehend what glaciers are and how each of us can help to stop the damage, even by small conscious actions.
This Portfolio is a result of my work in France, Switzerland, Italy and the beginning of the Expedition and NGO Naked Glaciers on all seven continents.
