Become enveloped in frozen worlds that oscillate between the deeply familiar, the unconventional and the transformative.

Flawed yet solid, and undeniably beauteous in form, ice commands our attention with its intriguing nature: defiant in its frozen permanence, yet ephemeral as it melts away in our shifting environment. Our gaze is captured by statuesque icebergs, like nomadic beacons that signal our ecological pulse. What is ice, and what significance does it occupy in our world of accelerating climate catastrophe? Worlds of Ice invites viewers to contemplate humans’ coexistence with a material that plays a dynamic role across science, society and artistic expression. From the molecular to the colossal, ice tells a story of cyclical change and the frozen poetry of worlds unexplored.
