The presence of absence pavilion, 2019

The space around a block of glacial ice was cast in bronze, producing a void that captures the shape of the vanished ice. The ice was harvested from the Nuup Kangerlua fjord off the coast of Greenland; the Greenland ice sheet loses tens of thousands of similar blocks each minute as a result of global warming.
