Note

Groundswell is a monumental fabric wave with wire-script poetry on climate change. Projected waves cast dappled light, evoking an underwater atmosphere as viewers walk behind it. Part of the Silent Salinity series, the work immerses visitors in both beauty and urgency and reminds us that, in the end, water always prevails. Part of the Silent Salinity series.
