Type and Size

You arrive in the Everglades looking for wildlife, scanning the water and hoping to spot an alligator.

Where the Water Watches Back turns the adventure around. In a place this wild, it's worth remembering who the visitor really is.

Artwork Story

The Everglades are full of visitors hoping to spot an alligator. Airboats pass through, people peer into the water, cameras ready, everyone looking for something wild.

From his place at the water's edge, we're probably the interesting part of the afternoon. Another boat. Another group of people. Another bunch of strangers very excited to see him doing absolutely nothing.

Maybe he represents power or mystery to us. Maybe to him, it's just Tuesday.

Every place has its wild neighbors. Sometimes we're the ones passing through.
