The Sanctuary Station | A Tribute to the Fallen

"This 15-foot site-specific installation serves as a functional 'Sanctuary Station' at Camp Breac on the Spring Creek watershed, bridging the concepts of ecological restoration and veteran commemoration. By utilizing reclaimed aluminum and repurposed bottle caps—materials salvaged directly from the Pennsylvania landscape—the work establishes a biological narrative of resilience that mirrors the wild trout populations it celebrates. Simultaneously, the inclusion of bronzed military boots and waders serves as a silent, immersive tribute to fallen service members, grounding the installation in a profound sense of regional history and sacrifice. This piece stands as a testament to the belief that both our natural waters and our human legacies are worth the persistent effort of reclamation and honor."​
