ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In my pursuit of sustainability advocacy, the images captured during my expedition to Patagonia stand as compelling visual narratives, portraying the urgent environmental challenges posed by global warming. These visuals transcend mere documentation, serving as a poignant representation of the consequences of climate change on the region's glaciers and ecosystems. Patagonia, with its breathtaking landscapes, becomes a microcosm reflecting the broader issues our planet faces. As an artist deeply committed to storytelling, I aim to bridge the gap between emotional resonance and academic rigor. The glaciers, once symbols of eternal beauty, now bear the scars of an altered climate, urging viewers to confront the reality of environmental change. This fusion of artistic expression and empirical understanding is intended to evoke not only emotions but also a sense of responsibility. By marrying creativity with scientific exploration, my goal is to contribute meaningfully to the discourse on sustainability, inspiring collective action. The Patagonia project becomes a call to arms, emphasizing the critical role each individual plays in preserving our planet. Through this intersection of art and science, I hope to amplify the message, transcending geographical boundaries and fostering a deeper connection between viewers and the global environmental challenges we collectively face. The work aspires to motivate change and cultivate a shared commitment to safeguarding the Earth for future generations.

Award-winning photographer Yannis Kontos is no stranger to unusual situations. From the everyday life of an amputee in Sierra Leone to warzones around the world, to the streets of Pyongyang, North Korea, Kontos’s lens has captured unadorned but with respect a set of realities unknown to global audiences. His work has been featured in many well-respected publications like Life magazine or the cover of Time magazine. Social issues and the human factor are always center stage in the World Press Photo winner’s 30 year-long career in documentary work, but for his landscape art, it seems that he takes quite a different approach. Currently, Yannis Kontos is an Assistant Professor of Visual Studies and Creative Industries at the College of Humanities and Social Sciences of United Arab Emirates University. He holds a PhD degree in Documentary Photography from the University of Wales (UK) and a Master of Arts degree in Photographic Journalism from the University of Westminster (UK).
