Traversing The Wilderness: Exploring Human Transportation Across the Everglades
This micro photography exhibition at HistoryMiami Museum celebrates 75 years of Everglades National Park by exploring how people have navigated the landscape whether by airboat, swamp buggy, boat, aircraft, road, and trail. Drawing entirely from the museum’s archival collection, the exhibition highlights the effort required to live in, traverse, protect, and experience the Everglades.
As designer, I created the intro wall to draw visitors into the space. I developed a large scale immersive illustration inspired by one of the photos featured in the exhibition, conceptually referencing an endless boardwalk to mirror the vastness of the Everglades.
