Return to the Ice: A Creator's Expedition

A Return To The Ice

Five years ago, an expedition to Antarctica changed my life. Now, the ice is calling me back, and I'm inviting you to co-produce the next chapter of discovery.

The Mission

The goal is simple: to merge art and science by documenting life at the edge of the world.

For ten days, I’ll live and work with a research team on King George Island, not as a tourist, but as a photographer in the field.

This is a Return to the Ice: Antarctica 2025.

A rare opportunity to co-create a body of work that preserves the beauty, the science, and the stories of a vanishing world. I’ve already secured over 20% with the early support of Scott Kominers, Loada, and [Name 3].

Why Now? A Window of Opportunity

My first expedition to Antarctica, though brief, yielded five years of creative work. It proved that even a short time on the ice can produce a lifetime of art and impact.

This return is different. It is a deeper, more focused mission. With ten full days on an active research base, the potential to create a significant, multi-year body of work is immense. This expedition is the start of that new chapter.

Antarctica is changing at an alarming rate. This is a critical moment to document its vanishing diversity, and your support makes this urgent work possible.

Proof of Work

For years, I've worked at the intersection of art, conservation, and technology. My work, created with my web3 community, has donated over $200k to nonprofits and reached a global audience. Antarctica 2025 continues this mission: building a visual archive of our planet’s disappearing frontiers with collectors who care about legacy.
