Description

The "Global Warming" is devouring the glaciers of the Earth. As the author explains: "While touring around the Artic borders, I have felt strong emotions, the fluidity of such a natural beauty is unsettling. You can immediately perceive the fragility and disaster in progress. Although the Artic is so far away, it really is the thermometer of the Earth, therefore, it is important that people become more aware of the unfortunate consequences of global warming." Inspired by the aggravanting damage of environmental pollution, Last Diamonds aims to denounce the melting of glacier due to climate change. In light of such issues, the photographer would like to offer his contribution to stop the melting of glaciers and to encourage the public to adhere to an ethic of Conservation of Nature. The images document the beauty of the Artic through the emblematic icons of the biggest icebergs, which let the viewers think about the unique characteristics of such sities. Iceberg now becoming increasingly rare, precious jewels of nature at risk of extinction. Although they have a short life, sometimes just a few weeks, they are as mejestic as rocky mountains, unavoidably beaten and sculpted by wind and water, creating new shapes unabated.
