About the artwork

Two weathered trucks rest side by side at the abandoned US base **Bluie East Two**, located near Ikateq in East Greenland. Like old comrades, locked in a shared destiny, they stand there as silent witnesses of a troubled history. Once they were a symbol of strength and progress, deployed to brave the rugged Arctic terrain. Now they are at the mercy of the elements, slowly consumed by time and nature.

The weathered cabins, covered in rust and cracks, tell the story of weather extremes and an era we can barely imagine.

In the background, the snow-capped mountains of East Greenland tower like silent sentinels. The contrast between serene nature and industrial decay could hardly be greater. The water of the fjord sparkles in the distance, as if trying to wash away memories.

In this solitude, you find the melancholy of a world we left behind. Without the remnants of World War II, this place would exude the perfect silence of the Arctic landscape. But now these trucks raise questions about the transience of ambition and the legacy of man. A place of desolate beauty, where history and nature come together in tragic harmony.
