SOS: Save Our Seas : By Ana Teresa Fernández
Page Tools
If the Great Lakes were given a voice, they would cry out for help—urging us to end the abuse and choose protection. In conjunction with the exhibition Under Pressure, Fernández premieres SOS at Ohio Street Beach during EXPO Chicago: a large-scale performance where 800 handheld mirrors flash sunlight in Morse code, transforming the international distress signal into “Save Our Seas.”
Held overhead by participants, the mirrors create a shimmering call for action along the shoreline—more than a social sculpture, a living monument of solidarity. Be part of this experience!
