Port of Rauma (Finland)
This design acts as a compass guide for the harbor, indicating directions using color and fish species. The base colors follow the pattern of the sun rising in the east (yellow) and setting in the west (blue).
The fish symbolize direction based on their relationship/dependency with the sea. Perch/ahven is on the side facing away from the sea because it is freshwater, grayling/harjus and salmon/lohi are north and south representing their migration, and herring/silli is on the west side closest to the water.

Fauna of Fairfax
City of Fairfax, VA (USA)
A three-dimensional scavenger hunt, ‘City Trails, Urban Tails’ encourages young audiences to practice their observational skills and learn about the native wildlife with which we share our city. Stacked one atop the other, each animal is built from a core of plastic water bottles and cardboard boxes which result in a lightweight yet durable structure. All throughout the piece, viewers can spot brochures, bits of textile, bottle caps and more; materials rescued from ending up in a landfill and given an alternative future as public art! Featured are some favorite and popular places around the City.

Sediment to Sky
Potomac Science Center, VA (USA)
Two murals illustrate the interactions of native flora and fauna studied at the PSC facility. Covering nearly 250 sq. ft of the risers and side wall of the front lobby staircase, the murals focus on each layer of the Potomac River Watershed from sediment to sky. Climbing up the staircase evokes the sense of ascending from the riverbed while having close encounters with locally found species of fish, birds and mammals.
