The Rise of Medusa by Goldie Poblador is an immersive installation mourning ecological loss from the 2023 oil spills in the Verde Island Passage. Visitors navigate a darkened space using flashlights to activate glowing sculptures inspired by historical marine manuscripts. Scent and sound accompany the experience, as Poblador reimagines Medusa not as a monster, but as a symbol of grief, power, and regeneration rising from devastation.
