On a white exhibition wall is a photograph of a white woman with short, brown, curly hair, wearing a black dress who is holding up a piece of paper in one hand. She is mimicking a painted portrait of man holding the same pose. To the right of the photograph is a mosaic patterned sheet of paper made up of tiny, multi-colored squares. The paper is in an abstract shape and has some of its squares missing.
A creek site where four women are engaged in research. The creek is a shimmery brown and sprawls out from the top right corner. There are small rock boulders and dense vegetation at the borders. Three of the women are crouched in the creek with their attention below the shallow water's surface. The fourth is up above with a clear view of the rest of the group. They are all dressed casually. Two of them are wearing floppy hats and three of them have bags strapped over their shoulders.
An architectural rendering of a futuristic pavilion set in a park. The main part of the pavilion has a white, bulbous shape and is gracing the sky on white cylindrical columns, planted in the ground in a circle. Within the pavilion is a group of mature trees and a gridded glass sealing that mimics the topography of the tree canopy. Down at the ground are tiny specs of people that demonstrate the grand scale of the pavilion.
A white exhibition wall with milk crates hanging in a cross shape. The outer facing surface of the crates have been spray painted, starting from the center and radiating out, yellow, orange, white, blue, green, and yellow again. Around the cross are paper cut out images of community members and famous people wearing La Calavera face paint. Propped up on the milk crate cross is a black, round sign with a brown power fist and the phrase “Corazón Indígena Por Las Vida Negras”. Below, at the gallery floor, is a row of chakra candles in different colors.

A comicstrip of a South Asian woman, astronaut wading through a polluted body of water filled with junk. Behind her is a red, industrial cityscape smoking the sky. At the top, the comic strip reads “What can we say about her as we sit here, caught in the throes of circular time, warming our flayed soles by the fire? Under her skin the rise and fall: of immortal jellyfish, of unspoken pleas & mechanical hands—selfsame shards of this tumultuous universe…{a sigh of the crossroads?} Tattoo her onto the city’s skin, stroke by stroke by stroke.”.
A large-scale relief map of New York City’s watershed, installed in an exhibition space with navy blue walls. The relief map is guarded off by a metal railing on three sides. Along the longest exhibition wall are eight maps accompanied by wall text.
