This exhibition commemorates artist and professor Silvia Lizama and her ongoing projects "Hurricane Andrew" (1992) and ⁘Construction Site⁘ (1989 ⁘ ongoing), who Aldeide first met in 2016. Lizama has deliberately documented her evolving landscape for nearly four decades through black and white analogue portraits of Hurricane Andrew and highway construction sites. She carefully hand-painted them to evoke ⁘archaeological documents of a premonitory past of the future.⁘ Adjacent to Lizama's work is CYJO 's ⁘Canary in the Coal Mine⁘ (2019-2021), a series of silent montage videos addressing climate change in Miami. The footage, initially in black and white, progressively incorporates disruptions by a yellow canary at intervals reflecting the rise in ocean heat storage according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's data since 1998. Symbolically, the series underscores the destructive impacts of global warming and serves as a warning.
