Inspired by Karina Yager’s research in the Andes of South America for over two decades. She highlighted the graduate disappearance of glaciers and their importance to the environment and the people’s life. The warm weather causes more precipitation in the form of rain rather than snow, causing soil retrogression and degradation. This piece aims to depict such a scene: the towering mountain, submerged in the white fog yet in absence of a snowcap. The artwork is created by painting on multiple stacked plastic sheets, where a natural depth is created. There was originally a layer of snowcap, but then discarded as a reflection of the melting of the glaciers.
