description>
An installation of recuperated and refilled plastic drink bottles built on site at Plug In ICA in Winnipeg. The region has a high water table and is known for its extreme winter weather. The glacier-like form may have called upon local residents' memories of another slow-moving natural phenomenon -- the flood that struck the area in 1997.
