Firstly there is the fact that the camera lens is made of ice which is slowly melting and constraining the artist&#8217;s time, much like global warming. Then there are the photographs, blurred and distorted as if they represent unclear memories of a place from long ago which no longer exists. So, comprehensively, a temporary landscape is being viewed through a temporary perspective, mirroring the temporary existence of a place at the mercy of global warming&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click below to view the video:<\/strong> Over the Horizon &#8211; Ice lens photography in Antarctica.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Over The Horizon.
