Night Walkers

Display Year:

2024

Night Walkers featured large inflatable frogs, magnifying these wondrous amphibians to highlight both their beauty and ecological importance. Considered “walkers” between water and earth in shamanic cultures, these frogs are bellwethers, with population declines signaling serious environmental threats.

Each giant frog represented an endangered species, and visitors could press a button to hear their croaks, creating an interactive experience that inspired reflection and delight.

Artist Statement:

Night Walkers supersizes these wondrous amphibians to highlight not just their beauty but also their ecological importance. These unique creatures – considered the ‘walker’ between the two worlds of water and earth in shamanic cultures – are considered bellwethers by environmentalists, as a decline in their population can signal serious environmental damage.

Each of these giant frogs represent an endangered species. They inspire the discovery of one’s inner melody, serving as guides to unearth the soul’s harmony.
