Reykjavik 03

Collection

Capsules: Earth Day Collection

Description

Reykjavik 03 pairs floral cuttings and frozen snapdragon buds with footage of Hljomskalagardur Park in Iceland. The pandemic showed us what restrictions on business as usual could do for our planet. The world paused and our collective emissions went down. My first trip post-quarantine was riddled with covid anxiety. I walked the streets of Reykjavik alone – taking refuge among the familiar yellow snapdragons that were just like the ones I had grown back in my garden in Brooklyn. I love to find connections in nature. Across the globe among strangers – you can still feel at home in the face of a flower. Capsules: Earth Day Collection is artwork aimed at elevating climate change by video artist Marissa Sher (a.k.a. whelkEye). The NFT celebrates the 53rd anniversary of Earth Day. The three pieces are part of Capsules – a larger series of work documenting the melting landscapes of Iceland and Antarctica. The work draws a parallel between miniature ice sculptures and celestial bodies – highlighting the fragility of life and the urgent need to address climate change. A portion of the proceeds from NFT sales benefit nonprofit Mercy Corps (via Endaoment) and their ongoing work to address climate change throughout the world.
