Renewal

This project envisions a floating aquamation system that integrates human life with Biscayne Bay’s ecosystem. Centered on a mobile barge based at the Central District Water Treatment Plant, it facilitates alkaline hydrolysis, a sustainable alternative to burial and cremation. The enriched water returns to the plant, becoming fertilizer for coral restoration. As the barge travels the bay, it provides both a functional and spiritual space for honoring the dead, merging ritual, renewal, and ecological restoration to foster a symbiotic relationship between humans and the bay.
