Passage
In tribute to those who preceded us, we built a pavilion to act as a PASSAGE to evoke the presence of those who toiled on the grounds of the Alta Vista plantation in Waller County, where hundreds of individuals were once enslaved. Crafted from paper, upcycled from grass harvested from the very same grounds, symbolizes our commitment to preserving this history. Its materials are intentionally designed to degrade in their initial placement, seamlessly reintegrating with the earth from which they were sourced, just as we strive to reintegrate narratives of these plantations into our memory.
