In Silent Spring, participants signed up for 20-minute float sessions in a salt-water pool located inside a chamber full of dense fog. A projection then played into the fog which made the whole room light up with various colors and motion. The increasingly intense sound of icebergs calving played throughout the experience. This piece was titled Silent Spring after Rachel Carson’s book by the same title, which warned of a future spring with no sounds of nature. This piece is an ode to that book using icebergs as the protagonist. The methodology of floating in a pool of water while icebergs calve and colors grow increasingly warmer is meant to allow the participant to fully embody this ever-present reality.
