I found these posts at the Salton Sea and decided to turn them into sentinels based on Nail Fetish figures, where the nails represent power invoked for protection.

Waterline

Waterline refers to the receding levels of the Salton Sea, which diminishes each year due to agricultural runoff declines, reduced water inflows, and rising temperatures. As the water retreats, it exposes vast stretches of toxic playa laden with harmful chemicals like arsenic and selenium. These particles become airborne, creating hazardous dust storms that threaten the health of nearby communities.

The figure, in contemplation and prayer for humanity, carries the weight of this environmental decline. Waterline marks etched into the sculpture’s back trace the sea’s vanishing presence, serving as a haunting record of loss and a plea for awareness and change
