A small but powerful image that reminds us of the predatory relationship human encroachment has with the environment and how that extends beyond the Everglades, the artist turns to another shot that went viral, that of an alligator with a knife buried between his eyes, miraculously still alive, swimming in the waters of a Texas lake. Here, García fills the clear blue water of a private residential pool in South Florida with multiples of this unsettling sight, amplifying the impact of the irrational dialogue that we have created with nature.
