JUNGLE BLISS - BORINQUEN GALLO @HUDSON RIVER MUSEUM 18 SEPT, 2026 - 14 MAR, 2027

This immersive installation functions as a powerful visual metaphor, examining the tensions between nature and artifice, permanence and transience, and individual responsibility and collective action. In the Hudson Valley, invasive species are spreading unchecked and reshaping local forests into dense, jungle-like landscapes; microplastics are polluting local waterways; and real estate development is fragmenting natural habitats. Gallo’s installation draws attention to pressing environmental threats and advocates for the communal stewardship and preservation of Hudson Valley’s ecosystems.
