    Brooklyn-based artist Genesis Báez grew up between the northeastern United States and Puerto Rico. Primarily photographic, her work considers relationships to place, community, imagination, migration, the natural environment, and their intersections. For this commissioned project, Báez produced a series of large-scale images, nestling them among the tall grasses of a unique site under the Gardiner Expressway, revealing the ever-changing nature of the area’s ecology.
