What do we know about sea ice, except that in Hédé-Bazouges, Saint-Malo or Rennes, it is vital to our climate. What do we know about ice? Some take it with their whiskey or their soda while others don't, we take it out of our freezer. It sometimes forms in our badly defrosted fridge, consuming extra energy. The fishmonger keeps his fish in it. We slide on our artificial ice rinks, and more and more rarely on an agricultural bag on a frozen slope. I know nothing of the relationship to ice of people who live with it in their natural environment, nothing of lake, river, or sea ice, of the ice of glaciers, nothing of the frozen lands of permafrost, or the ice of comets, but I feel its disappearance at work.

Can the encounter with the Arctic rid the artist of her initial intention in a techno-scientific setting, deliberately distancing the emotions linked to the perception of a loss of inestimable value: that of the cryosphere? How will the reception of the emotions of the ice shape the creation? Wouldn't eco-anxiety be a necessary experiment allowing responsible engagement in terms of thought, word and action, as Véronique Lapaige proposes? Can the reception and sharing of these emotions through creation accompany individual and societal changes?

With this pilot-expedition as a context for questioning, discovery, learning, and for encounters and creations, it is a question of experimenting with another relationship between human beings and the cryosphere, between human beings and nature, considering our eco-anxiety as essential to the reinvention of the world, and the sea ice as an "emotional" place, essential to life.
