According to the statistics and predictions of scientists, global warming will bring disaster to humankind. It is an international environmental crisis that requires the joint efforts of all people and countries to resolve. Through the unique texture of Chinese ink and the language of geometric abstraction, the digital generative art shows the melting process of the glacier from ice to water, with the color transforming from cold to warm. The work sounds the alarm for the world. However, the re-icing of the text at the end of the video provides hope for people’s efforts. The ingenious integration of ink painting with the concept of environmental protection has brought classical ink art into contemporary art, demonstrating the vitality of Chinese ink in the digital age. The immersive video installation not only shows the profound wisdom of Chinese culture but also reflects the responsibility of a great country.
