"Arch of Consumption", the monumental installation by BREAKFAST, explores society’s unyielding pursuit of growth, using real-time data from government sensors tracking Miami’s water usage—from construction to daily needs. Formed from gold and marble, the arch’s bricks evoke luxury and excess, a testament to the allure—and cost—of opulence. As you walk through, the arch rotates to reflect your image in gold, inviting you to consider your role in the balance between human ambition and environmental impact. When left undisturbed, undulating ripples visualize the strain our consumption places on natural resources.
