What We Will Miss

What We Will Miss is an ongoing body of my sculpture addressing the human-made calamity of Great Salt Lake’s eminent demise. The Utah Division of Wildlife acknowledges that over 10 million birds, represented by 338 species, utilize Great Salt Lake and its habitats. Terry Tempest Williams in her 2023 New York Times op-ed observed, “Great Salt Lake’s death and the death of the lives she sustains could become our death, too.” Through continued action, be it political, social, or artistic, we can acknowledge the loss, take action and galvanize hope.
