Meltwater (Alight) (Carolyn Cheng)

“Meltwater” is a series of photographs that illustrate melting glaciers in remote regions of Alaska, revealing the potential effects of climate change, if unabated. By introducing colour solarization into the series, glaciers and icebergs become rendered into symbols of heat, figuratively melting our landscape. “Meltwater” invites reflection on the dramatic rise in glacier melt resulting in rising ocean levels and challenging global weather disruptions.
