'In [The glacier series], the massive glaciers are seen from the sky, at a distance where we can appreciated their magnitude; in order to see them in their entirety, we need to get away from them. Their incremental movement is a phenomenon we understand by the virtue of scientific knowledge, not of what we can see with the naked eye.'
