How does one sketch the silence of a melting continent?

In Frozen Hands (Les mains glacées), illustrator MarieMo offers a sensitive "reportage" graphic novel that captures the fragile beauty of the polar marine environment. Born from an artist residency aboard the sailboat Knut along the coasts of Greenland, the work serves as both a travelogue and a meditation on an ecosystem in peril.

Through a series of sketches magnificently illustrated in India ink, MarieMo blends the reality of the expedition with the maritime imaginary. The book reveals a unique perspective on the whims of a landscape besieged by climate change, creating an intimate dialogue between the ocean, the ice, the fauna, and the artist herself.

More than just a visual diary, it is a testament to the fading majesty of the North, crafted with a gaze that is as attentive to the scientific reality as it is to the poetic silence of the ice.
