Made of glass tiles, Arctic Turns features nine murals with images that appear to move as the viewer walks by them. The murals depict a variety of animal life within marine environments. They also illustrate ways in which people have historically been connected to the world’s oceans and hint at how human activities have affected ocean health. Oil rigs, a fishing trawler and Eskimo hunters are placed in the various scenes of the murals.
