Title: Hear Here, the golden mangrove Sanctuary

Artist: Meg Wallace

The eco-art sculpture, created by artist-in-residence Meg Wallace, represents an

amalgamation of the natural beauty of the mangrove ecosystem.

The sculpture's design is inspired by the intricate network of mangroves,

symbolizing strength, resilience, and versatility. The installation prominently

features three large golden leaves, symbolizing the three types of mangroves

commonly found in South Florida. Its interconnected components are designed to

embody the interconnectedness of our physical and social ecosystems.

Purposefully placed in front of the waterline of the mangroves, visitors are invited

to enter a personal golden mangrove sanctuary for a time of rest and reflection.

An organic seat was skillfully repurposed by the artist out of a century-old Royal

Palm from the property that once stood tall and sturdy but succumbed to disease

in 2023.

This installation aims to inspire a collective commitment to environmental

conservation and foster symbiotic relationships. It is a confluence of art and

nature that encourages visitors to appreciate and preserve the mangroves, along

with the social and physical ecosystems that exist on Earth.
