Icebreaker is a solo, self-funded project using aerial light-painting to showcase our cryosphere's beauty and reveal the impacts of climate change. Spanning Switzerland’s Rhone Glacier, Chile's Patagonian Ice Field, and Iceland’s glacial lagoons, it bridges art and advocacy, sparking conversations about the fragility of frozen rivers. Glaciers lose 267 billion metric tons of ice annually, threatening landscapes, ecosystems, and economies. With 2025 declared the UN Year of Glacier's Preservation, Icebreaker is a rallying cry to protect these frozen leviathans before they become extinct.
