YOU ARE HERE is an immersive environmental art installation designed to help people slow down through sound and living visuals.

Inspired by the kelp forests of the Pacific Northwest, the installation creates a quiet space where sound and movement unfold like water: steady, rhythmic, and grounding. A sound-led sensory environment, grounded by a living visual, YOU ARE HERE offers a brief pause within a fast-moving world, a place to reset, even for a moment.

The title is both an invitation and a reminder – to arrive in the present moment, and to recognize that these underwater ecosystems exist not somewhere distant, but here, in the coastal waters that shape our landscapes, our identity, and our relationship to care. Like natural sanctuaries beneath the surface, kelp forests soften currents and hold space for life to rest and recover. This installation draws from that intelligence.

Presented with Friends of False Creek as part of the False Creek Festival.
