    Bronze in Fine Art / Landscape

The photo series captures the impact of human activities on our planet's most delicate ecosystems, focusing on melting glaciers. The series features images of textiles covering the glaciers, the construction of new dams, and groups of people within vibrant landscapes, all of which combine to form a complex narrative of nature's transformation. The series includes photographs from the Switzerland and Georgia glaciers. Switzerland’s glaciers lost one-third during the last decade and 10% of their volume in the last two years.

Anna Korbut (b. 1989) is a visual artist from Ukraine working with photography and mixed media, currently based in Switzerland. She explores the relationships between humans and nature and deeply engages with Anthropocene issues, starting a dialogue with science at a time of advanced climate change. Anna also delves into the individual's inner world and interpersonal connections. She experiments with digital and analogue techniques, drawing inspiration from mountains' beauty, Augusto Giacometti's and Helen Frankenthaler's vivid colours, Auguste Rodin's sculptures, and Erich Fromm's texts.
