Tobias Picker:  Old and Lost Rivers by Susan von Gries  is a multi media 4 panel piece depicting abstract impressions of Mother Earth and the loss of rivers, lakes and glaciers, which are melting due to climate change and affecting the livelihood of the Eskimos besides the lives of animals which depend on the arctic for life.  Farmers’ livestock and other animals are dying as the grasses which they eat to survive are not growing.
