Tide Castle

Tide Castle an imaginative king tide barrier constructed from scavenged beach toys and plastic detritus, classic Miami Beach masonry, and subtropical plants. The project responds to some of Miami's most pressing environmental threats: plastic pollution, overdevelopment, and sea level rise. A lush microcosm of beach culture, this installation memorializes a vanishing place while suggesting creative green infrastructure interventions to preserve it. Tide Castle can be deployed in a number of forms: within galleries, along seawalls, or at the beach.
