Under the Highlands: Cristina Molina and Jonathan Traviesa

In Under the Highlands, by Florida-born, New Orleans-based photographers Cristina Molina and Jonathan Traviesa, they hone in on Florida’s Lake Wales Ridge. A geologic phenomenon, the Ridge is known as having the highest elevation in Florida and maintaining some of the rarest plant specimens on the planet.

The installation fictionalizes the Ridge’s story, setting it in the near imagined future, in which Florida is nearly underwater except for the highlands—the Ridge being the last habitable plane.

See the exhibit at Yes We Cannibal through October 7. An opening reception will take place on September 9 at 6 pm. yeswecannibal.org.
