“I LOVE YOU, DON’T LEAVE ME.”
Is a decade-long project based on photographs the artist took of glaciers in Antarctica and Greenland. The multiple series that belong to this project—each utilizing various disciplines, including performance, installation, photography (digital and analog), and experimentation—act like a collection of personal essays expressing her attachment to the sublime beauty of the ice and its ultimate loss caused by climate change’s impact.
ICE IS A FRAGILE FORCE. ALTHOUGH IT CARVED THROUGH MOUNTAINS, CREATING PRAIRIES AND LAKES, ITS STRENGTH DIMINISHES EVERY DAY AS THE ICE MELTS, DRIPS AWAY, AND FAILS TO BE REPLENISHED. I PHOTOGRAPHED THIS ELEGANT, FRAGILE BEAUTY NEAR THE TOP OF THE EARTH IN GREENLAND AND SOUTH IN THE ANTARCTIC. I LOVE YOU DON’T LEAVE ME IS A BODY OF WORK CREATED OVER SEVERAL YEARS, AND THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE ITS GENESIS.”

Based on several of her trips to these regions, these photographs document disappearing glacial landscapes and imbue these images with a sense of personal loss as climate change ultimately transforms them.
