Liz Nielsen’s Icy Lovers is a radiant exploration of the fluid, ever-shifting dynamics of human bonds. Featuring two translucent icebergs, the work captures and reflects light in a way that evokes the luminous quality of stained glass. As light passes through the piece, it transforms—shifting tones and revealing hidden details—much like the nuanced nature of love itself: fragile yet enduring, intertwined yet distinct.

Playfully referencing the assumption that love has a “temperature,” Nielsen's overlapping forms reflect the delicate balance between closeness and individuality, encouraging viewers to consider the layered complexities of relationships.

Created through her unique photogram process, Nielsen works in total darkness, employing a complex layering system of materials and objects to expose light-sensitive paper, then developing the image with traditional color chemistry. This intricate process requires trust in the medium, mirroring the vulnerability and unpredictability of human relationships. The resulting work, both bold and ephemeral, celebrates light as a creative force and invites viewers to see love as an ever-changing interplay of form, color, and energy.
