I was invited to participate in "The Ice Book Project", which a brilliant take on water conservation. The idea is to create an ice sculpture (ephemeral art) in the form of a book, and give it back to nature. This video shows my take on the project.


A big "Thank you, Ahéheeʼ!" to Basia Irland for the invitation to participate in her passionate vision. Basia is one of my former professors from grad school at the University of New Mexico. Basia along with other wonderful professors kept me inspired during my time at UNM, and I continue to carry their teachings with me today. Enjoy:)
