The installation is a memorial to the estimated 150-200 species that go extinct every day, many of which we have not yet discovered. Using IUCN data from 2018, Tuttle represents 74 species classified as extinct that year on the wall, leaving 124 blank spaces for the unknown species that never came into contact with the scientific community.
