Dramatic Pastel Drawings of Shifting Glacial Landscapes by Zaria Forman

I absolutely love these pieces and thought they were photographs.

Pastel artist Zaria Forman’s subject of choice the glacier. The natural phenomenon that occurs around the globe is a critical element of cold-weather ecosystems, as well as a barometer of global climate health. The Brooklyn-based artist travels worldwide, often accompanying scientific expeditions, to experience and document glaciers firsthand, taking thousands of reference photographs to inform her enormous pastel drawings.
