To make an offering is a sacred act where we try to honor, respect, thank and also ask for forgiveness. In this case, this offering to the ice has been made to ask for forgiveness for the traces of our civilization, through whom the natural process has been accelerated their natural rate, forcing it to arrive to the present where, the ice, the same one that impressed our ancestors, is counting the final hours of their fragile existence.

Through the use of a material that abounds and characterizes our civilization (plastic), this artwork has been created to constitute it as an offering to ask for forgiveness, allowing us reconciliate with the past, the same one we have transformed and altered, trying to find through it the answers that will allow us to arrive to a peaceful future in harmony with Nature.
