The Sea Series in collaboration with La Mer, Miami

As Featured in Fantom Issue 05, Autumn 2010.

The oceans demand our visual attention and also our awareness. This curatorial section – supported by La Mer – features a selection of photographs from across the globe. The series includes existing and commissioned work by international artists – all with an eye to appreciate, assess, absorb, and admire the vast and vital resources of our seas. Dr. Max Huber, the founder of La Mer and creator of Crème de la Mer, developed a deep appreciation for the beauty of the Pacific ocean and worked to preserve its health and integrity. Today, in honor of Dr. Huber’s legacy, La Mer supports Oceana, the largest non-profit organization dedicated solely to protecting the health of the world’s oceans.
