"Anirniq Ukiuk" By Michael Masade
Ukiuk is the Inukitut word for "Winter" Anirniq is the Inuktitut word for "Spirit". Inspiration was taken from the theme of the Olympics, based upon ancient Inuit art. The Spirit of the Winter Olympics is encapulated within the patterns that decorate the goggles throughout. The patterns are taken from Inuktitut, the language of the Inuit, indigenous peoples inhabiting the Arctic regions of Canada.
