Tip Of The Iceberg functions as the artist's most explicitly environmental statement, its title invoking both literal glacial phenomena and metaphorical hidden complexities.

The crystalline fractures within the composition and pristine white surfaces create a visual poetry that addresses urgent contemporary concerns about polar ice loss and climate disruption. Bronkhorst's treatment of the ice formation demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of both geological processes and aesthetic traditions, referencing Romanticism's sublime encounters with nature while maintaining immediate contemporary relevance.

The piece operates on multiple interpretive levels: the visible ice formation suggests vast hidden structures beneath, while the metaphorical 'tip of the iceberg' implies that surface appearances mask deeper, more complex realities. This duality speaks to Bronkhorst's broader concern with scale and revelation—how sustained attention uncovers layers of meaning invisible at first glance.
