This episode of Melting Pot features Elena Tengri, a young Siberian artist from Yakutia whose deeply personal connection to nature shapes her creative vision.
Growing up in the freezing landscapes of Yakutia, Elena developed a deep bond with nature that continues to guide her artistic vision. She was inspired by a British artist who makes nature installations and for her project she reimagined the legend-Bull of Cold (a figure in Yakutian folklore), to build these striking ice installations, most notably a seven-ton ice sculpture placed in the desert, symbolizing the tension between heat, cold, loss, renewal and climate change. Elena shares her creative journey, the challenges of working with melting ice, and how art can spark conversations about climate change. A thoughtful, inspiring story of culture, courage, and creativity.
