Provenance:

Private Collection, British Columbia

Note:

This sculpture is Anghik's interpretation of the effects of global warming and climate change on Arctic life.

The top of the sculpture depicts broken ice, huge chunks in disarray suggesting the chaos below. The chaos is represented by confused void spaces, the unknown changes to most life when the ice melts. We can see a couple of human faces with distressed expressions and sea life represented by a seal buried beneath the chunks of ice.
