Wie ein kolossaler Eisblock zur Besessenheit wurde

D28 brach im September 2019 vom Amery-Schelfeis in der Antarktis ab und sorgte damit weltweit für Schlagzeilen. Die Satellitenaufnahmen weckten Easons Interesse an der Entwicklung von D28. Der in der Schweiz lebende Künstler britischer Abstammung dokumentiert seitdem den Prozess der Schmelze von 300 Milliarden Tonnen Eis künstlerisch und schafft damit ein Zeitzeugnis von grossem kulturellem Wert:
 
«Eason’s artistic navigation was a form of remote sensing, emotional engagement, & allowing the imagination to become the outcome. Disappearance, loss, & rapid transformation of 300 billion tons of ice to water is remotely witnessed. It is a speculation on the evolution of an event, happening on the other side of the world, on a scale beyond human measure and only visible through an incredible technique. The slow process of painting is, on the one hand, a big contrast to the rapid melting of the iceberg & the pressing urgency of climate change, yet, on the other hand, it is not too dissimilar to the time-honored window and rhythm of the melting. Painting is also seen here as a contrast to the fast flow of digital images, newsflashes, and consumption & stands for the iceberg’s conservation as an ephemeral object.»
