To Be A Bay is a narrative series that looks at the rise in sea levels over the span of the next century specific to the Tampa Bay area. The concrete lines of the archival maps from the 90's are softened by the printing on fabric and dilute perceptions of control over Nature. The use of cyan as the primary representation of water calls forth a digital prediciton that reflects contemporary lived experience mediated through technology. The activation of the sea breath on the fabric reminds us that the bay is a living thing that hum_ns live among.
