Air Pockets under the water contain small ecosystems. I am referring to these particular objects as “Concrete Floats”. They are the result of open-ended research in creating independent ecosystems. Prototypical objects for developing human-scale floats to reside in large bodies of water. …tethered beneath the surface… constructed with porcelain instead of concrete. Some of these sculptures incorporate lenses to refract light into the interior for photosynthesis, also serving as portals for the viewer.
