The FloodZone series brings to the surface the seductive and destructive dissonance between the saturation of the tourism and real estate industries’ marketing images of a tropical paradise offering a luxury lifestyle with water views, while vulnerable properties and streets routinely experience high tide flooding, impacting the city’s infrastructure and the well-being of its residents.
