8/100 from my self portrait project.
Probably my personal favourite and most meaningful image (to me) so far this year.
The title/words rang true in my head while spending a few days at this glacier in Iceland, noticing the vast difference in the last 9 years, nevermind just the last week spent there watching sections of ice the size of apartment buildings calving off from the glacier, breaking into thousands of icebergs that will never be part of that mountainside again. It was all at once wild and heartbreaking to see, and filled me with the realization of the raw truth… for some of these special places, very soon, there will be nothing left but stories. 💙
I wanted to create something to remember and document these thoughts, to portray a connection to our Mother Earth, to hold on tight and remember her and protect her. Because now more than ever, we need to be her mother, too. 💙
P.S. This iceberg was safely grounded on the shore for this 4am shoot - I just had to walk through freezing knee deep water to reach it.
