Quelques beaux icebergs...
When Simon Harsent was 11 years old, he painted a picture of the Titanic crashing into an iceberg. He doesn’t remember why he did it, but he knows that it was the start of his fascination with painting, which later evolved into a love of photography.
Looking back on it later in life, Harsent became interested in how major events—the sinking of a ship, for instance, or the beginning of his photography career—are determined by a series of small incidents. It’s an idea he explores in his book, Melt: Portrait of an Iceberg, which shows how icebergs transform throughout their lifetime. “I often think back to the moment when I decided to paint the iceberg, and the path that that decision took me down. I have no doubt that the journey I’m on now is linked to this one definitive moment in my life. The body of work that constitutes ‘Melt’ could never have come into being any other way,” Harsent wrote in a statement.
