Glacier Lament

Glacier Lament is an art installation about the loss of glaciers. Pantone lists four color cards for glacier blue, yet in real glaciers this blue is variable and dynamic. As glaciers disappear, this unique blue also disappears. The blue tones of glaciers in Alaska were sampled and blended, then held in sixty recycled glass vials suspended above a canvas. Each time a glacier calving event occurred, one vial fell. By the end of the exhibition all sixty vials had fallen, forming a painting on the canvas beneath.

Glacier Lament Art Installation Lighting Film by Jiabao Li has been selected as an exceptional illustration of communication design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Glacier Lament Art Installation Lighting Film earned the Bronze A' Design Award in Fine Arts and Art Installation Design in 2022. The A' Fine Arts and Art Installation Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design award that honors exceptional design of sculptures, paintings, installations, photographs, drawings, mixed media works, ceramics, art objects, craftworks and more.
