O’Neale’s immersive sound art installation depicts the journey of transatlantic enslavement to freedom via saltwater “railroads” to the Bahamas.

The work features a series of wind-propelled pinwheels, which serve as symbolic gestures representing joy, protection, spirituality, and the cycles of life, particularly within the African Diaspora of the Caribbean and Black North American communities.
