Greenland
The reason I brought a drone to Greenland was the icebergs. From sea level they are large and sculptural; from the air they become something else entirely — isolated forms floating in dark water, the space between them as compositional as the ice itself. At altitude, the scale collapses, and what you're left with is pure geometry: shapes and shadows and the particular blue-white of glacial ice against open ocean.
This collection is built heavily on aerial photography, which changes the nature of the work in ways I was still discovering by the end of the trip. One photograph in particular, a polar bear in the water, one paw raised and gripping a fragment of ice, surrounded by nothing but the icy sea, came from a moment where the drone was in the right place at a time.
