Underwater Homeostasis

The image depicts a large-scale street art installation at an intersection. The artwork features a stylized, swirling form reminiscent of marine life or water currents, rendered in shades of blue, white, and teal. The artwork appears to interact with the pedestrian crosswalk lines and the surrounding street. Given that this is likely Xavier Cortada's "Underwater Homeostasis," the piece likely aims to visually represent the impact of rising sea levels and the vulnerability of coastal environments. The scale and public location suggest an effort to engage a broad audience with the issue of climate change and its effects on aquatic ecosystems and human communities.
