The work is a multi-format project about a collection of old glass as a metaphor for understanding the value and importance of thaw archives and statistical data. Like glass objects, these archives and data possess a unique beauty and fragility, and preserving them is essential to understanding and learning from our past. Like careful collectors, researchers and scientists are dedicated to gathering, preserving, and analyzing data related to thawing and the effects of climate change. These archives contain valuable information about past climates, glacier extents, sea levels, and other relevant variables. Just as each piece of glass tells a unique story, each set of data and statistics provides valuable insight into climate change and its consequences. Preserving and protecting these archives is crucial for learning from the past and addressing future challenges.
