The Bronze A' Design Award is given to outstanding designs that showcase a high degree of creativity and practicality. It recognizes the dedication and skill of designers who produce work that stands out for its thoughtful development and innovative use of materials and technology. These designs are acknowledged for their professional execution and potential to influence industry standards positively.

Regarding Glacier Lament Art Installation Lighting Film

Glacier Lament is an art installation about the loss of glaciers. Pantone lists four color cards for glacier blue, yet in real glaciers this blue is variable and dynamic. As glaciers disappear, this unique blue also disappears. The blue tones of glaciers in Alaska were sampled and blended, then held in sixty recycled glass vials suspended above a canvas. Each time a glacier calving event occurred, one vial fell. By the end of the exhibition all sixty vials had fallen, forming a painting on the canvas beneath.
