Naples Botanical Garden

Historias del aire y del suelo | Stories of Air and Soil

Oasis 4, 2025 (detail)

On view in Kapnick Hall July 11 – October 25. Historias del aire y del suelo (Stories of Air and Soil) showcases two bodies of work by artist Pseudomero. Pseudomero’s series Trópico-Sub-Trópico (Tropical-Suptropical), highlighting palms, is a visual exploration of the ecological and social connections between Florida and Puerto Rico. The series featuring bromeliads, Bromelias en serio (Seriously Bromeliads), is a playful yet serious call to action; by celebrating this special plant and the hidden wonder that is its micro-ecosystem, we are reminded of the importance of preserving nature.
