In a world that often fears loss and avoids reflection on mortality, “Profile of a City That Was” offers a quiet, tangible experience of impermanence. Through the fragile beauty of melting ice, it invites audiences to confront the fleeting nature of creation and existence. An ephemeral island of ice, built and adorned by the audience, slowly melts away— leaving only earth behind.A quiet meditation on creation, impermanence, and loss. In this installation, each ice block is infused with a specific color — not as a label, but as an emotional resonance.Blue might suggest sadness, red could evoke anger, green may reflect calmness.These associations are open to interpretation.
Participants are invited to choose a block that intuitively connects with a feeling, memory, or mood — making the ice not just a physical object, but a vessel of personal emotion.
