Commissioned for the 2017 Light City Baltimore Festival through the Baltimore Office of Promotion and Arts, this collaborative project with visual artist Marian Ochoa and curator Kirsten Walsh was supported by the Maryland Science Center, in front of which it is sited.

The immersive sculpture and video installation is inspired by the Greek myth, Jason and the Argonauts' Quest for the Golden Fleece.

Argo’s massive scale invites people to enter the piece, passing through each of the rib-like structures as the video and LED lights weave the tale of threats to water health and quality. The physical form of the work is based on an
inverted boat hull, reminiscient of Argos, the mythic ship.

Video is projected on both sides while the interior is alive with a changing LED light sequence. The themes of the video circulate from the power and beauty of water, industrial pollution, storm water runoff and agricultural water use. Projected on the exterior of the massive sculpture the installation presented viewers with the regions’ changing water systems.
