As an artist,

2000
Kao umjetnici,
00:17
connection is very important to me.
1
2000
2000
povezanost mi je vrlo važna.
00:19
Through my work I'm trying to articulate
2
4000
3000
Kroz svoj rad pokušavam artikulirati
00:22
that humans are not separate from nature
3
7000
3000
kako ljudi nisu odvojeni od prirode
00:25
and that everything is interconnected.
4
10000
3000
i kako je sve međupovezano.
00:29
I first went to Antarctica almost 10 years ago,
5
14000
2000
Prvi put sam otišla na Antarktiku prije gotovo 10 godina,
00:31
where I saw my first icebergs.
6
16000
2000
gdje sam vidjela svoje prve sante leda.
00:33
I was in awe.
7
18000
3000
Osjećala sam strahopoštovanje.
00:36
My heart beat fast, my head was dizzy,
8
21000
3000
Moje srce je kucalo brzo, vrtjelo mi se u glavi,
00:39
trying to comprehend what it was that stood in front of me.
9
24000
3000
pokušavajući shvatiti što je to što je stajalo ispred mene.
00:42
The icebergs around me
10
27000
2000
Sante leda oko mene
00:44
were almost 200 feet out of the water,
11
29000
3000
su bile gotvo 60 metara iznad vode.
00:47
and I could only help but wonder
12
32000
2000
I jedino sam mogla razmišljati
00:49
that this was one snowflake
13
34000
2000
kako je to jedna pahulja snijega
00:51
on top of another snowflake,
14
36000
2000
na vrhu druge pahulje snijega,
00:53
year after year.
15
38000
2000
godinu za godinom.
00:55
Icebergs are born
16
40000
2000
Sante leda se rađaju
00:57
when they calve off of glaciers
17
42000
3000
kada se odvoje od glečera
01:00
or break off of ice shelves.
18
45000
3000
ili kada se otkinu od ledenih polica.
01:05
Each iceberg has its own individual personality.
19
50000
4000
Svaka santa leda ima svoju vlastitu osobnost.
01:09
They have a distinct way
20
54000
2000
Imaju poseban način
01:11
of interacting with their environment
21
56000
2000
komuniciranja sa svojom okolinom
01:13
and their experiences.
22
58000
3000
i svojim iskustvima.
01:16
Some refuse to give up
23
61000
2000
Neke odbijaju odustati
01:18
and hold on to the bitter end,
24
63000
2000
i drže se sve do gorkog kraja,
01:20
while others can't take it anymore
25
65000
2000
dok druge ne mogu više podnijeti
01:22
and crumble in a fit of dramatic passion.
26
67000
4000
i smrve se na vrhuncu dramske strasti.
01:26
It's easy to think, when you look at an iceberg,
27
71000
3000
Lako je pomisliti, kada promatrate santu leda,
01:29
that they're isolated,
28
74000
2000
kako su one izolirane,
01:31
that they're separate and alone,
29
76000
2000
kako su one odvojene i usamljene,
01:33
much like we as humans sometimes view ourselves.
30
78000
3000
veoma nalik na način na koji mi ljudi nekada vidimo sami sebe.
01:36
But the reality is far from it.
31
81000
2000
Ali stvarnost je daleko od toga.
01:38
As an iceberg melts,
32
83000
2000
Kako se santa leda topi,
01:40
I am breathing in
33
85000
2000
udišem njezinu
01:42
its ancient atmosphere.
34
87000
2000
drevnu atmosferu.
01:44
As the iceberg melts,
35
89000
2000
Kako se santa leda topi,
01:46
it is releasing mineral-rich fresh water
36
91000
4000
ispušta svježu vodu bogatu mineralima
01:50
that nourishes many forms of life.
37
95000
3000
koja njeguje mnoge oblike života.
01:54
I approach photographing these icebergs
38
99000
3000
Pristupam fotografiranju tih santi
01:57
as if I'm making portraits of my ancestors,
39
102000
3000
kao da pravim portrete svojih predaka,
02:00
knowing that in these individual moments
40
105000
3000
znajući kako u tim pojedinim trenucima
02:03
they exist in that way
41
108000
2000
oni postoje na taj način
02:05
and will never exist that way again.
42
110000
2000
i više nikada neće na taj način postojati.
02:07
It is not a death when they melt;
43
112000
2000
Nije smrt kada se otope;
02:09
it is not an end,
44
114000
2000
nije kraj,
02:11
but a continuation
45
116000
2000
već nastavak
02:13
of their path through the cycle of life.
46
118000
3000
njihovog putovanja kroz krug života.
02:21
Some of the ice in the icebergs that I photograph is very young --
47
126000
4000
Neki led u santama koje sam fotografirala je veoma mlad --
02:25
a couple thousand years old.
48
130000
2000
nekoliko tisuća godina star.
02:27
And some of the ice
49
132000
2000
A neki led
02:29
is over 100,000 years old.
50
134000
3000
je preko 100.000 godina star.
02:41
The last pictures I'd like to show you
51
146000
2000
Posljednje fotografije koje vam želim pokazati
02:43
are of an iceberg that I photographed
52
148000
2000
su fotografije sante leda koju sam fotografirala
02:45
in Qeqetarsuaq, Greenland.
53
150000
3000
u Kekertsuatsiaku, na Grenlandu.
02:48
It's a very rare occasion
54
153000
2000
Veoma je rijetka prilika
02:50
that you get to actually witness
55
155000
2000
zapravo svjedočiti
02:52
an iceberg rolling.
56
157000
2000
kotrljanju sante leda.
02:54
So here it is.
57
159000
2000
Dakle, evo je.
02:56
You can see on the left side a small boat.
58
161000
3000
S lijeve strane možete vidjeti mali brodić.
02:59
That's about a 15-foot boat.
59
164000
3000
To je brod od otprilike 4,5 metara.
03:02
And I'd like you to pay attention
60
167000
2000
I željela bih da obratite pozornost
03:04
to the shape of the iceberg
61
169000
2000
na oblik te sante leda
03:06
and where it is at the waterline.
62
171000
3000
i gdje se nalazi na vodenoj liniji.
03:09
You can see here, it begins to roll,
63
174000
2000
Možete vidjeti ovdje, počinje se kotrljati
03:11
and the boat has moved to the other side, and the man is standing there.
64
176000
2000
i brod se premjestio na drugu stranu, a čovjek stoji tamo.
03:13
This is an average-size Greenlandic iceberg.
65
178000
3000
Ovo je prosječno velika santa leda na Grenlandu.
03:16
It's about 120 feet above the water,
66
181000
3000
Nalazi se otprilike 120 stopa iznad vode,
03:19
or 40 meters.
67
184000
2000
ili 40 metara.
03:21
And this video is real time.
68
186000
2000
A ovaj video je stvarno vrijeme.
03:23
(Music)
69
188000
8000
(Glazba)
03:52
And just like that,
70
217000
2000
I jednako poput toga,
03:54
the iceberg shows you a different side of its personality.
71
219000
3000
santa leda vam pokazuje drugu stranu svoje osobnosti.
03:58
Thank you.
72
223000
2000
Hvala vam.
04:00
(Applause)
73
