A video by is projected onto a sculptural installation by . Inspired by mollusks, which naturally produce pearls as an immune response to foreign irritants as an organic act of self-preservation, this installation reimagines a future in which a feminist Mother Nature sews, staples, and animates the shells, skins, and debris of marine organisms to create a hybrid filtration system.

Currently on view in Built on Water at through August 22nd. The gallery is open Thurs – Sat from 10am – 5pm. Visit angelsgateart.org for more info.

Jennifer Gunlock, Full Body Scan (Pedro), 2026. Digital collage

This fictional medical scan by reveals an imagined slice of the Port from the water’s surface to the floor. Incorporating photography and video shot around the Port of LA and Cabrillo Beach—including a close-up of the SS Lane Victory bobbing along the water’s edge—this video challenges us to consider what permanent marks of industry are hidden in the depths below, as they continually leach toxins into the water, long after their disuse.

In their series of photographs, .blank use seawater collected directly from the ports in a saltwater and silver nitrate process developed in the nineteenth century. While their video piece offers a close-up view of operations within the ports and the intermodal freight system, their photographs shift perspective, depicting industrial marine traffic suspended on the horizon of seemingly tranquil seascapes. This contrast reveals both the immense scale and the often-overlooked presence of global shipping networks in everyday life.
