The ice transforms from inanimate to animate for those who can feel the earth as a living entity. As my connection with the landscape in the polar region of Antarctica deepened, my perception underwent a transformation as I saw and felt the ice breathe. Antarctica is a continent which to the best of our knowledge no indigenous peoples called as their home; yet if they had, I am certain they too would have connected with the energy of the living earth as I did; and represented this connection through totems, markings, body paint, and talismans as they have done in traditional cultures right across the globe for millennia. This moving image piece represents the transformation of the visible representing the invisible. It represents the transformation of my perception from the known of what is tangible, to what is intangible yet for me so visceral. As a shaman, I felt and understood in those moments of experience in this pristine environment of Antarctica; my perceptions of existence transform and evolve as I felt the ice breathe.
