We use photographs as records of memory to keep memories alive. They serve as a trigger to our mind to recall the essence of being in that moment and series of time.

Within my ice melting installation I am using old family photos about ancestors, who are no longer living.

I am using screen printing to apply the images onto ice. When the surface is cold enough the ink is freezing on the top, but it will not dry. I am not able to control the melting part. Some of them fade faster than the others. When the metamorphosis starts, all of the ink sooner or later become one, dilute with the water, and step by step the ice disappears and takes on its new form.
