Faded Ice documents a series of ephemeral artworks made from frozen, coloured objects that vanish through sublimation - the direct transformation of ice into gas without becoming liquid. Kate Hrynko captures this process in both domestic freezers and natural settings. As the ice disappears, painted molecules remain, tracing the transformation of matter. These experiments explore how melting alters environmental conditions, referencing albedo loss – a decrease in surface reflectivity that leads to more solar radiation being absorbed rather than reflected, intensifying global warming. Hrynko’s vivid images merge photography and painting, creating abstract compositions that emphasise impermanence. The work operates as both scientific study and poetic reflection on climate change.
