Overview
It was a lifetime opportunity to be part of the team selected to design an exhibition for the National Park Service Centennial, focused on the four parks and preserves in South Florida: Biscayne National Park, Everglades National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve, and Dry Tortugas National Park. The exhibition brought together photography, artifacts, and illustration to celebrate 100 years of the National Park Service and highlight the ecological and cultural significance of these landscapes.
Impact
The exhibition delivered a powerful and immersive experience that honored the natural beauty and cultural importance of South Florida’s national parks. By combining photography, illustration, and historical artifacts, the project created a compelling narrative that engaged visitors and elevated awareness of the National Park Service Centennial.
