An LED light installation on view on the first level of our art space draws inspiration from bioluminescence, a phenomenon that while aesthetically pleasing, is nature&#8217;s defensive reaction to disrupt in the ecosystem. This warning signal can be due to rising temperatures, pollution, and human activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"643\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artechouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Website-Journal-Blog-Images-1920x12061-1-1024x643.jpg\" alt=\"aqueous agua haiii haiiileen artechouse miami\" class=\"wp-image-3225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artechouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Website-Journal-Blog-Images-1920x12061-1-1024x643.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.artechouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Website-Journal-Blog-Images-1920x12061-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.artechouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Website-Journal-Blog-Images-1920x12061-1-768x482.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.artechouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Website-Journal-Blog-Images-1920x12061-1-1536x965.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.artechouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Website-Journal-Blog-Images-1920x12061-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>&#8220;Agua Haiii&#8221; by Haiiileen at ARTECHOUSE Miami&#8217;s <em>Aqueous<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Upstairs, artist Haiiileen\u2019s piece &#8220;Agua Haiii&#8221; is on display.
