| En route to Boca Raton Museum's All Florida exhibition on Florida's East Coast I made an impromptu visit to the Central Marina. The Stuart Park Coast Guards told me the Marina's lack of water circulation created a holding tank for algae caused by runoff from chemicals used in farming, such as pesticides, that infiltrate the water and change its composition. |

| The lurid green is beautiful, like a paint pour - an aesthetic prompt for the alarming reality that to breathe this stuff is toxic in the extreme. Its stench equals formaldehyde in a dissection room. |
 |
| The algae forms a sticky muck, untenable for breathing. |
 |
| Inhabited by bugs and flying creatures. |
 |
 |
| Stagnation meets fresh water. The Anthropocene Age must redefine the balance of human presence in nature as our points of intersection become increasingly synthetic. |
