In the spirit of science fiction, Snowline asks what does snow say about its own existence. According to scientists, we can read the journey an individual snow crystal has taken before reaching the Earth. Changes in weather cause ongoing snow metamorphosis. The studies weave into measurement timelines, archived since the early 20th century. The meaning of over a hundred years’ data expands temporally and geographically due to climate change.
