Allison Janae Hamilton is a contemporary artist who works across sculpture, installation, film, and photography.

In 2019, artist Allison Janae Hamilton created Floridawater, a photographic work that explores the deep cultural and environmental histories of Southern landscapes. This piece was captured in Florida’s Wacissa River, where the artist immerses herself in the water, evoking themes of memory, spirituality, and ancestral connection.Floridawater exemplifies Hamilton’s engagement with the natural world, using water as a symbol of transformation and the complex relationship between land, history, and identity.
