River, Dreams, Invisible Cities is a installation comprising seven cyanotypes on silk. They illustrate the past and present trajectories of New York City waterways whose shorelines are inaccessible to city residents. Also included are renderings of fantastical cities belonging to an imagined future. Each print tells an individual story, and their merging manifests a reimagined city forever altered by climate change.


This project was created for the Works on Water House on Governors Island in 2020 and was later installed in the Main Window Dumbo and at Wave Hill.
