ELEGY FOR A GLACIER

This compilation embodies a collection of multimedia “poems of affection and sorrow,” originating from a distant epoch, dedicated to the Earth and our interconnected companions beyond the human realm, during the era defined as the Anthropocene. This period marked humanity’s awakening to the unfolding repercussions of its fervent pursuits of industry, colonization, and consumerism upon the sole celestial body within our solar system equipped to sustain and nurture human existence. As humankind grappled with the ramifications of its insatiable desire of progress, the resonance of these compositions resided within the fading echoes of sound, capturing the final expressions of feminine, human tenderness and veneration for the intricate network of life forms that harmonized life’s equilibrium on this planet. Following humanity’s demise, these chronicles, safeguarded through the annals of time, are unearthed by novel species and new technologies. Within the cadence of deteriorating sound waves, they unveil the ultimate whispers of humanity’s devotion and homage toward the fragile cohabitants who once nurtured life’s delicate symphony upon this cherished sphere.

TRANSFORMATIONS

Transformations was filmed between January 11-13, 2024 on and in collaboration and kinship with Round Lake in Upstate, NY. A changing climate has forced more temperate winters here, there is more rain than snow and ice on the lake thaws as quickly as it forms. Temperatures here the past few weeks have been dancing between 40-50°F, and the formations documented in this visual poem, were all gone within days as the water returned to it’s liquid form. The last time I recall the lake freezing over completely for more than a few weeks was about 7 years ago. I hope these visual poems encourage and inspire others to find their own paths towards connecting deeply with the natural world that surrounds us, in an effort to recognize our place within these natural systems and awaken a sense of awe, joy, and peace. I hope they carry with them a recognition and understanding of how nature can bring these elements into our lives and serve as a means of forming emotional connections, and in turn, a desire to preserve our planet and our own personal sanctuaries – as we humans embody a strong urge to protect what affects us personally and what we cherish the most.
