This installation symbolizes South Florida’s layered constructions of fantasy and reflects how the region’s paradisiacal tropical image often obscures the artifice of its provenance. It consists of a two-channel video projection and a sculptural element, inviting viewers to navigate the fusing of material, fragment, and illusion.

The primary projection displays composite images of pink hydrocal casts of miniature Greek columns set against abstracted photographs of a South Florida highway. These fabricated "ruins," interpolate classical architectural forms with the present-day infrastructural sprawl, blurring temporal and aesthetic boundaries. The secondary projection, positioned at a 90-degree angle, disrupts the seamlessness of the first. Its ruptured imagery reveals the mechanics of its construction, exposing voids and inviting contemplation of what lies beneath the surface. A sculptural component, constructed from recycled upholstery foam and neon, extends this inquest. The foam, eroded and textured as if decayed, houses neon light from within, suggesting both deterioration and an uncanny allure. A pink and purple monochromatic palette nods to dreamy pastels associated with the area while amplifying the surreal, seductive atmosphere of the installation.

By layering fragmented forms and revealing hidden structures, the work reflects on South Florida as a space of perennial reinvention, a landscape built through calculated artifice that masks its inherent precarity. The installation unravels these layers, questioning the tensions between permanence and illusion, spectacle and reality.
