The floating art parade hopes to inspire awe and wonder while illuminating the beautiful privilege we have living next to the water.
Rather than focusing on the fear surrounding sea-level rise and our city’s issues with flooding, what if we were to be like water — to be fluid and reach a state of acceptance? To dream and play and create with the water rather than against it?
The parade is a beautiful dance between the arts and the sciences which will culminate at the once Norfolk Museum of Arts and Sciences, now The Chrysler Museum of Art.

Inspired by the song from the movie Mary Poppins, A Spoonful of Sugar highlights our country’s growing pains as we continue to confront our past while trying to create and define our identity. As in the song, the first polio vaccine was administered with a cube of sugar and was met with the same trepidation our world faced during the Covid-19 pandemic. This installation highlights the power education has in molding present and future generations, with the potential to perpetuate the same cultures and divisiveness that stem from a shameful history and continued master narrative. A sugar-coated curriculum built from a country’s sugar-coated history. Our country’s identity, sugar-coated. Perhaps a spoonful of sugar helps the history go down.

Eyes Forward uses reflection and perspective to ask important questions regarding our individual impact on the environment and suggests what Earth’s future might be. One wall consists of an assemblage of old side view vehicle mirrors that contain the well-known printed message to drivers that “OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR.” Panning out, viewers can see a reflection in the mirrors from the neon side on the opposing wall that reads, “THE END.”
The mirrors allow viewers to see their individual reflection, which symbolize the role each individual plays in impacting the environment. Viewers are asked to consider their own responsibility, their choices and actions, and contemplate actions moving forward - alone and collectively. Will you settle for defeat and focus on the end staring brightly at you in your face? Or will you keep your eyes forward, on the road ahead, focusing on possibilities and solutions for the future?

Fast fashion is a term used to describe the increased output of garments made cheaply and quickly — the garments that are sold for five dollars and start falling apart after one or two wears. On the surface fast fashion appears to be a temporary problem that you can quickly and easily discard, but the industry’s increase in production and its paralleled consumer buying behavior creates a snowball effect leading to a substantial increase in throwaway fashion destined for landfills. The detrimental social and environmental effects of the fast fashion industry are anything but temporary.
