Since 2020, I have been collecting snow in my grandmother’s garden. Based on this activity, I develop projects that emerge from an attempt to find meaning in this practice.

The project »Treida« is conceived as a fictional commodities market in which snow is traded as a luxury material, increasingly scarce due to the consequences of climate change. In this context, the project explores the value of my snow collection in relation to global snow reserves, with a particular focus on Antarctica. The valuation of my collection follows a supply-and-demand model, meaning that the less snow remains in Antarctica, the higher the value of the snow I store.

The project »Good Harvest« focuses on snow collection as an agricultural practice. Within this framework, snow shifts from a phenomenon historically perceived as a threat to agriculture and survival into a resource upon which survival depends. In order to sustain life on Earth, the preservation of winter and snow becomes a genuine necessity.
