Ice sculpting is an amazing art form. The sculptors usually begin with brute force by taking a chainsaw to a block of ice, but as their work progresses, they use more refined tools to develop the most intricate and elegant details. As with painting and other forms of sculpting, almost anything is possible. However, at the heart of these amazing sculptures is a powerful message: life and beauty is fleeting. These artists work hard to develop these sculptures, but their works are doomed to melt and perish. But these artists sculpt these ice figures anyways, for the beauty and awe these figures inspire will certainly live on after their physical forms have vanished.
