6/7 _ _ _ << | >> _ _ _ 22/09/2007 Ice melt

In this work I used aluminium foil which I folded it several times and then I unfolded and burned it, so I was able to write a small text.
I put this piece in a black frame so it looks more like a monumental/formal sign that makes this testimony more visible.
The text I took it from the internet. I surfed through a lot of news websites, search engines, etc.  
I finally decided to put this paragraph from different articles and news about ‘Ice Shrinking’.
Also I made a music CD playing in the gallery with a compilation of 8 songs having in the title the word ‘Ice’.
Arctic sea ice shrank to the smallest area on record this year. Scientists fear that this will have major consequences for wildlife in the region.
On a global scale, the Earth would lose a major reflective surface and so absorb more solar energy, potentially accelerating climatic change across the world.
