Sculptural Watercolour® by Prue Bishop, 60 x 80 x 5 cm, G06, 2023

❄️ A World No Longer Pure White

Once-pristine ice fields are now darkened by pollution, accelerating their melt and reshaping our planet. This Sculptural Watercolour® captures the harsh reality of particulate pollution—from wildfires, power plants, and wood-burning stoves—that settles on snow and ice, making them absorb more heat and melt faster.

🌍 The Melting Continues

Pollution-driven warming is already well underway, contributing to rising sea levels and an uncertain future. Studies estimate that if Greenland’s ice fully melts, sea levels could rise by six meters, submerging major coastal cities worldwide.
