Wish Towers marks the return of the Contemporary Arts Program to Vizcaya. Inspired by the native coral limestone that was used extensively in the creation of the gardens, Jaime and Javier Suárez explore how art and nature intersect at Vizcaya. They have created a modular sculpture made of fossilized coral collected from Puerto Rico’s shores. The sun-bleached coral is turned into unique pieces that link together creating vertical structures, described by the artists as stalagmites. Functioning as a nurturing vessel for mangrove propagules that can be watered with public participation, Jaime and Javier’s installation responds to the ongoing challenges posed by climate change, including sea level rise and increases in seawater temperature, and thus honoring Vizcaya’s commitment to environmental sustainability.
