Through imagery of apartment-bound fish tanks and their stewards, a childhood computer game, and the halted construction of a luxury housing complex, The Optimum Aquarium explores ideas of care and compassion in built environments — and the violence of commercial development in New York City neighborhoods.
Produced in the 2025 UnionDocs Collaborative Studio
