Rounded showed as public art installation as a part of Shadow Traffic Production’s Alter/Alter: Temporal Pieces for Temporal Places. The site specific sculptures and performances in the Lower East Side will begin with a public sunrise tour on November 9th and end with a sunset walking tour on Sunday, November 10th. The art will remain up throughout the weekend.

Build from bricks collected along the shores of the East River and sculpted by decades at sea, Rounded embodies a cruel twist of reincarnation: rising seas will carry many of New York's forgotten objects back to shore in altered forms.

The bricks in Rounded originally served as building blocks for waterfront factory buildings and warehouses constructed during New York's Industrial Revolution. Carbon pollution produced during this era and the ensuing decades now promises to return these bricks to shore as sea levels rise.

Rounded marks the edge of New York’s flood plain in 2080.
