Fractured Horizons of a Glacier's Memory

About this work

In 'Fractured Horizons of a Glacier's Memory,' Akira Yamato creates an immersive sculpture that delves into the fragility of nature's balance. By upcycling discarded satellite dishes and installing them on a sprawling, undulating structure, Yamato reflects on the consequences of human actions on the environment. The Twinkling lights and mirrors embedded within the sculpture evoke the ephemeral nature of glacial ice, while the spatial arrangement of the pieces subtly mimics the trajectory of a melting glacier. As viewers navigate the installation, they are enveloped by an otherworldly atmosphere that both mesmerizes and disturbs.
