Interior Renderings
As people are walking through the installation it's a progression of the arctic sea ice disappearing through time as humans represent the heat that drives these erosions to happen, they are leaving their mark as they’re walking through. Through the progression, people will be able to see the erosion of the material throughout the 3 recorded time periods.
