Preserving nature Swiss luxury beauty house La Prairie supports Douglas Mandry’s artistic mission to raise awareness of the importance of preserving the beauty of nature and its endangered landscapes. Swiss artist Mandry initiated his investigation of glaciers in 2018 in his Monuments series, creating photograms of melting ice and working with archival photographs of alpine expeditions printed on glacier protective fleece covers. Douglas’ latest artistic work, titled Gravity Flow, pushes his artistic expression into a new medium. The sculptural work, developed as a public installation displayed in Swiss nature, addresses the urgent topic of climate change and its visible impact on Swiss glaciers, visibly receding from melting as a result of the passing of time and climate change. Gravity Flow is a series of five sculptures — made of 100% recycled glass — presented as a representation and exploration of glaciers, and questioning how humans perceive, represent and interact with their natural surroundings.
