Disappearing Treasures — Jennifer Basile

Jennifer Basile’s work draws attention to the ecosystems that define South Florida yet remain vulnerable to change. Through form and material, Disappearing Treasures evokes elements of the natural world—subtle textures, organic patterns, and layered surfaces that suggest both presence and gradual loss.

Installed within the active landscape of The Underline, the piece creates a contemplative counterpoint to movement and infrastructure. It encourages visitors to reflect on what is visible, what is fading, and what must be protected.

By embedding environmental awareness into a shared civic space, Disappearing Treasures aligns with The Underline’s mission to connect culture, ecology, and community in meaningful and lasting ways.
