An animated presentation that communicates the reality of Arctic climate change – emphasising its universal importance and acting as a warning of the consequences of our actions. It is a narrative of action and consequence: a cumulative effect of successive additions beginning to reach a cacophony.

The design concept aims to exhibit and emphasise this flowing process, creating a narrative of cause and effect. The central device used to illustrate this is water – central to the Arctic story. The multiple incarnations of water, with its ability to move and change as the result of external pressures and its endless change of state, will be illustrated using the flow of water. The technique uses inks to make water visible, and then through animation and photography, traces its movements to illustrate the key factors of Arctic climate change.
