The landscape is formed by the people related in there. People are also formed by landscapes where they are related. And many of them are invisible. In this extreme cold place, I want to create a landscape that evokes the overlapping of time events that are now invisible. It is a landscape where the fragments of the people who have formed this place assimilate and disappear in the background. I extracted portraits from some snapshots at different times and places, and I reconstructed them in landscapes. Portraits are anonymous, with most of the void that are grinded and polished. At the same time, void reflects the surrounding landscape and assimilate the portrait. Falling snow will also make them invisible, as if such as the accumulation of time.
