Maybe it's happened to you, or to someone you know; you're riding the chair lift at a downhill ski resort and you drop something - a glove, a ski pole, a Chapstick, a trail map, the list goes on and on. As luck would have it, you usually drop it on the steepest, rockiest part of the lift, the kind of slope skied only by the paid lunatics in a Warren Miller movie, and your precious possession is never to be seen again...except...maybe it's now in this artwork!

The geometric pattern used for the "pockets" is based on the molecular structure of water: there is a 60° angle between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms and when water crystallizes in its frozen state this same angle gives snowflakes their shape.
