ICE (Immigration and Custom Enforcement)

In this striking image, a pair of hands carefully cradle a transparent ice cube, ingeniously embedding a photo of a smiling couple, creating a literal and metaphorical portrayal of preserving memories in a solid but ephemeral medium. The black background accentuates the glowing luminescence of the cube and the image within, symbolizing fragility and the transient nature of moments captured in time. The ice has started to melt.
