Geometry of Ice №1 – Germany Denmark

Geometry of Ice №1 – Germany DenmarkArtwork Information The strict linearity of the markings in the ice of a small pond caught my curiosity. It seemed to contradict the disordered leaves and branches of the adjacent forest. The fascinating thing is that this geometry, at an everyday scale, mirrors the order of atoms, which is a billion times smaller. Crystalline regularity links structure at the nanoscale with features at the human scale. There are many molecules that arrange themselves

While I often travel to Iceland and Norway

filtered light—this series captures the raw presence of the Norwegian fjord landscape near Eidfjord in late summer

The ice may also have a greenish tint due to algae or other plant matter frozen within

These fractal-like formations emerge as melting accelerates along weak points in the ice

Thin layers of ice form delicate structures that reveal subtle variations in shape

was of particular interest

This series features the Ölfusá River

the scene takes on the character of a natural puzzle: sharp lines

and reshaped by weather

forming pockets of air between ice crystals

Without the distraction of bright colors or harsh shadows
