The Light That Warms Us, The Ice That’s Shifting: Seeing Our World Change
This one… it feels different. That sun, it’s always been our guide, warming us even in the coldest times. But looking out at that vast, endless white, you can’t help but think about how it’s changing. We’re out there, these tiny figures, trying to live our lives, but the ground beneath us isn’t as solid as it used to be. It makes you feel small, but also connected, like we’re all in this together, watching our world change.
The light in this photo, it’s hopeful, but there’s a sadness too. It’s the light of our home, but it’s shining on a landscape that’s not always going to be like this. We’re part of this picture, our lives woven into the ice and the snow. And it’s our responsibility to show the world what’s happening, to tell our story of how the climate is changing our home.
This image, it’s about the vastness of our land, but also about the smallness of us. It’s about the light and the dark, the hope and the fear. It’s about being Inuit youth in a changing Arctic, and trying to capture that feeling, that reality, in a single shot.
