Does anything last forever? Few things, if any. Art is supposed to last forever, capturing an emotion, a moment, and keeping it always intact. But not exactly; ice sculptures can’t last forever, they are merely in place until they melt. Maybe that is what is so realistic about ice sculptures: the fact that they are not forever. Nothing in life is forever. Every moment is a passing phase; we can hold onto something only for a time before we have to let it go. Even living is not a permanent element in life. As Patricia Briggs had once said, “The only certainty life contains is death.”
Here’s giving temporary a whole new meaning: the Ice Hotel attracts thousands of people to a small village called Lapland, 200kms north of the Arctic Circle. Everything in the hotel is made of ice and snow, including the cutlery, walls, beds, and even a church. Yes, it’s cold; yes, it’s costly; but the art in the architecture and the science behind the design turns me on. This is one place I would want to see, if not live in. The hotel is constructed every year and with the change of weather it fades to a puddle every single time.
Now, that is one cool place to holiday in…
