Anna Thuber’s Frozen in Life is a site-specific concept presenting the subjects of her photography; molded ice sculptures featuring local flora, collected and displayed on site.
“The lifecycle of flowers animates me and drives me to document the process as I capture the flowers, seed pods, full blooms, and spent petals. The temporary nature of the pieces I create is essential to the process. My time and energy are reduced to a pool of water and soggy stems, mirroring the rhythm of the seasons, and of course, then there are the images.”
The Concept
Frozen in Life is an ongoing body of work, each iteration responding to a new location, documenting the local fauna.
