OMNIART Miami, 2004

These drawings of mangrove seedlings by Xavier Cortada were initially exhibited at Miami Art Fairs: OMNIART I in December 2004 (above) and OMNIART II in January 2005 (below). The images were used to paint the columns beneath I-95 and create the Miami Mangrove Forest, a metaphoric reforestation of Downtown Miami.


Miami Mangrove Forest (Drawings for Downtown Columns) pencil on paper/series of 56 framed drawings, each 8.5" x 11", (2004) Currently the work is on long-term loan to Florida International University.
