Born on a military base and growing up during the height of the Cold War, during his childhood Coupland imagined the Arctic as a probable location for the collision of US and Soviet nuclear warheads. In his Snowmen series, he has created a stack of decreasing circles that recall the form of snowmen. These colourful figures, however, also have a darker connotation; composed of concentric rings, these targets are poised for posssible attack.
