This compelling selection of eight still images, drawn from Weil’s larger film project 88 Cores, offers a glimpse into the haunting beauty and delicate structure of the ice cores extracted from Greenland’s ancient glaciers. Each image captures a unique moment in the Earth’s climatic past, revealing subtle layers, bubbles, and fractures—testimonies to millennia of atmospheric shifts and environmental events.
As the planet continues to warm, these once-frozen records of Earth's climate grow increasingly fragile. Through her work, Weil not only documents this history with striking visual clarity but also delivers a quiet, urgent message about the vulnerability of our polar regions. The ice cores stand as vital scientific evidence of climate change and as poignant symbols of the environmental tipping point we now face.
8 Cores from 88 Cores is currently on view at the Omega Center for Sustainable Living in Rhinebeck, New York, where it will be exhibited through November 1, 2019. This thought-provoking installation offers visitors an opportunity to reflect on the deep past—and the narrowing window of time we have to protect our future.
