Milagros at the Temple of Abundance

Milagros at the Temple of Abundance is painted on a series of eight columns on The Underline, creating a high-impact, large-scale installation with an artist-curated theme intended to inspire curiosity and spark engagement to build stronger connections and reinforce the principle of art as a shared experience within diverse communities. By doing so, the installation transforms the artwork into a participatory and inclusive event, fostering a deeper sense of connection and collective engagement.
Milagros at the Temple of Abundance references the cultural practice of leaving small offerings—milagros, or “miracles”—as gestures of gratitude, hope, or remembrance. Trombly reinterprets this tradition within a contemporary public setting, creating an installation that encourages contemplation amid the movement of the city.
The work combines carefully selected materials that evoke both fragility and resilience, suggesting cycles of giving and receiving that shape communal life. By situating these references within The Underline, Trombly connects intimate acts of care to a shared civic landscape.
Rather than functioning as a static monument, the installation creates a quiet pause along the corridor, aligning with The Underline’s broader vision of integrating culture, reflection, and everyday experience into Miami’s urban fabric.
