TRACELESS
This project explores ice as a medium, emphasizing its melting process to highlight the active roles objects play in shaping our environment. Historically, ice has embodied tension and contrast: fragile yet formidable, adhesive yet slick, clear yet opaque, enduring yet vulnerable (Carey, 2007; Rider, 2019). By amplifying the visual and auditory changes during melting, we examine the interplay between Earth's slow geological time and the accelerated glacial melt driven by human activity. This work envisions a de-anthropocentric future, reflecting on how human actions have disrupted natural processes and environmental rhythms.In collaboration with Xuedan Gao
