The work of Sarah Anne Johnson, a Canadian artist and photographer, has recently come to my attention.  

Canadian Art magazine describes this work as “Arctic landscapes with fantastical alterations:  buildings and confetti grace the tops of glaciers; vibrant, smoky fireworks fill the expansive northern sky. The result of an expeditionary residency to Norway’s Svalbard archipelago, the works combine a celebration of the Arctic’s beauty with the artist’s awareness of its precarious future.”
