Cross-Bronx Waterway reveals the Waterways of Southeast Bronx with eight fluvial vignettes as seen from underwater. The ground plane of the water—a series of steel ribbons welded together to form waves—is flipped up vertically and becomes a screen from which to view the Bronx landscape from the Station. Floating on the water are boats, wildlife, and other quotidian objects found along the Bronx Waterways: crabs, egrets, fish, tires and plastic bottles. From the street, the objects are seen as if from above water.
