Soliloquy of Ice (2022)
Contact
In the immensity of the Arctic Ocean, en route to the North Pole, a fleeting vision captivated my lens: a solitary iceberg, slowly melting into the salty embrace of the waves. This majestic sentinel of ice, sculpted by the ages, seemed to whisper the secrets of eternity, in poignant contrast to its slow disappearance.
Under the pale, mystical light of the Arctic, where day and night merge in a dance of shadows and reflections, I witnessed a spectacle of unsettling beauty. The sky, shrouded in a low, dark gray cloud layer, added a touch of melancholy to this grandiose scene. It was as if the firmament itself was mourning the imminent loss of this icy titan.
The bluish slate of the iceberg, emerging from the belly of the millennia-old ice, stood out with an almost unreal intensity against the dark background. Every crack, every sliver of light reverberating off its shimmering surface, told a story of cold and majesty. The photograph I took in the middle of the ocean sought to capture this duality: fragility and power, finitude and infinity.
There was an indescribable magic in that moment, a feeling of being in the presence of something sacred, of a beauty that only those who dare to venture into these austere regions can truly understand. By immortalizing this melting iceberg, I wanted not only to preserve a fragment of this Arctic wonder, but also to remind everyone of the transience of precious things and the need to cherish them before they fade forever into oblivion.
