British artist Simon Beck walks with purpose through the snow, counting his paces and humming a tune. But Beck isn’t en route to a typical winter adventure: Using snowshoes and a ski pole, he’s meticulously stomping elaborate geometric patterns in the pristine white of Norway’s mountain meadows. Best admired from above, Beck’s unique works of art are inspired by ice crystals, spiderwebs, ferns and other patterns found in nature.

Directed by Audun Fjeldheim and Sindre Kinnerød.
