Artists, generally, put an enormous amount of time and effort into their works, so when it all disappears within one day, it must be totally heart-wrenching.

Brazilian artist, Nele Azevedo diligently carved hundreds of miniature ice figures as part of a recent installation only to watch them slowly melt in the heat of the day. As the sun beat down on the tiny sculptures they stooped and slumped, lending an ephemeral quality to the already very cool installation.

    It’s great to see artists that normally work in other mediums using ice to express themselves.
