Our group reached it first by plane, then by a three-hour boat ride. For most of the year, the area is cloaked in darkness, yet there was still a faint glimmer of daylight during our visit. In previous years, the region would have been entirely blanketed in ice and snow by November, but climate patterns have grown erratic in recent times, leaving stretches of slushy water that. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat allowed our boat to sail through — otherwise, we would have had to break the ice first to proceed. I had been invited there to discuss a theater project; the local team wanted to build an Iceberg Opera House on the snow-capped mountain, a plan that eventually came to nothing due to its prohibitive cost.The entire mountain exuded an otherworldly aura. Standing before it, I felt a momentary daze, surrounded by an endless veil of thick fog that left me disoriented — unsure of my whereabouts or when we would reach our destination. Suddenly, a ship emerged from the opposite direction, and that unexpected sight stirred a profound sense of emotion within me.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e- Tim Yip \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis work is part of \u003cem\u003eMIRROR OF THE META: Incredible Reality\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea solo exhibition at Asprey Studio by Hong Kong-born artist and art director Tim Yip. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe exhibition explores parallel dimensions of reality where myth, memory and technology meet.
