Traditions is a co-designed public art installation by Pamela Zeljak and Anton Morton (Me) created for the City of Lauderhill in Greater Ft. Lauderdale, Broward County, FL. During concept design, Pamela and I immersed ourselves in the rich tapestry of the local community’s Caribbean cultural heritage, seeking to understand and reflect its rhythm. The resulting installation, a backlit figural wall relief, presents a powerful visual narrative. Three figures, rendered in a dynamic yet graceful posture, engage in a perpetual circular dance.?Their bodies, grounded yet seemingly weightless, reach and soar, their outstretched arms embracing the surrounding space and one another.?Subtly woven across their forms is the topography of Lauderhill, a delicate cartographic line art rendering that connects the figures to the very land they inhabit.?This metaphorical dance around the city’s heart becomes a poignant expression of place, grounding the artwork in its specific context.?The rhythmic dynamism of the figures draws inspiration from the vibrant traditions of Caribbean folk dances, including the Tambu, Bélé, Calypso, and Soca. Traditions was crafted from highly durable, low-maintenance materials and technology by the innovative team at One Hat One Hand, led by Marcus Guillard and Steven Fromtling with Jonjon Selin leading installation, and the team at Rbhu on structural and electrical engineering. We're greatful for their exceptional work! Many thanks also to Guy de Silva and Eric Koslow at Direct Embed Coating Systems for the graphic powder coat, to Christian Feneck for the local assist, Rick Munne at Pine River Company for the general contracting and to Photographer and Videographer Eileen Escarda for capturing the installation in all its glory. Thanks also to early contributors Billy Craig and Kasha Egan, PE, SE, CWI, PTI, ICCMSI. It takes a village to make projects like this one happen and we're thankful to the many who played a roll in this work's completion. This project was funded by the City of Lauderhill with support from Broward County Arts and Culture. Image and Video: ?Eileen Escarda, 2025.
