Joseph considers New York's relation to the water that surrounds and defines it. Her reflections reach back to the city's heyday as a world-class port--a past embodied in a Dutch East India Company cannon recently unearthed from the rubble at the World Trade Center site--and they encompass the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. They suggest that New York's future lies in the reclamation of its great water resources--for artistic creativity, civic engagement, and ecological sustainability.
