In the display, that could had also be seen for the first time at Ocean Space (Venice, 2019), approaches the role that the ocean has been developing among cultures through history, as a totemic, spiritual and ecologic reference.

Jonas combines poetry and prose from writers such as Emily Dickinson and Herman Melville with texts by Rachel Carson and Sy Montgomery, and so does with images and recorded movements inside aquariums in Jamaica, where algae blooms and abusive fishing raise an urgent threat to the environment.
