Every fracture, a century of pressure.
Glacial Veins reads the skin of a Greenland glacier terminus: dark, vein-like crevasses splitting the blue-white face, fragmented sea ice drifting on still, dark water below. Documentary detail, moody light. Entropy, made visible. Part of the Arctic Monoliths collection. Composed, not photographed.
