Brackish Waters is a place-responsive watercolor exhibition that explores painting as both journey and witness at the fragile threshold where freshwater meets saltwater, and personal memory meets shared ecological experience. Created with water and sediment gathered from the Tampa Bay watershed, the paintings evoke immersion, transition, vulnerability, and renewal through large suspended watercolors, framed circular works, and a constellation of small collaborative paintings contributed by community participants. Together, these works invite reflection on water as material, witness, and shared inheritance, exploring the relationship between individual experience, collective identity, and ecological uncertainty.
