PUBLIC ART INSTALLATION SERIES
MEET ME WHERE WE LIGHT UP
Miami’s Public Art and Waterfront Reimagined by
B. Jō Suhé Gōnz Meji
This forthcoming public art instalation brings a living moment of recognition to the Miami waterfront. Two life-sized nervous systems, illuminated in white and orange, meet at a single shared spark — revealing connection not as metaphor, but as electricity, biology, and truth. Designed as a civic portal, the installation invites viewers to pause, breathe, and feel the intelligence carried within their own bodies. As daylight shifts to dusk, the figures appear to activate with the city itself, reminding us that:
We light up together.
Visitors are invited to scan the embedded QR code, unlocking a web-based sonic experience — an evolving HUEMUNS soundscape designed to further attune the nervous system and deepen the moment of connection…
THE MAGNUM OPUS
HUEMUNS of PARADISE is an ecosystem—created by B. Jō Suhé Gōnz Meji—of art, sound, and play: a Magnum Opus where myth, codex, and cultural artifact converge. It bridges ancient storytelling with contemporary forms—studio and game offering the world a new language of collective imagination and participatory mythmaking, bringing coherence of heart and clarity of being.
CUT THE FOG. AND TUNE IN.
HUEMUN Artifacts
Sculptural objects, wearable relics, and ritual design pieces.
Artifacts are tangible extensions of the myth—beaded, illustrated, or crafted works that embody the HUEMUNS frequency. They are both art objects and ritual tools, collectible pieces that function as portals into the larger opus.
HUEMUN Sound
Sonic rituals, field recordings, and vibrational compositions.
Aaudible field of the opus—where breath becomes bridge and vibration becomes memory and stands as a sonic practice, aural installation, or score—blurring the line between music, and spatial design.
HUEMUN Codex
Artist book / living manuscript / conceptual archive.
The Codex is the written body of the opus—a living manuscript where myth, transmission, and memory converge. In the world, this stands as an artist book, a performative reading, or a digital archive installation.
HUEMUN Open Studio
Social practice / participatory art laboratory.
The OS is an active site of creation and community—a living studio-as-installation where audiences can witness process, contribute to works-in-progress, and engage in rituals of sound, story, and play.
HUEMUN Gamification
Interactive Quiz Game.
Gamification transforms myth into participation. Through interactive play, narrative choice, and sonic immersion, the audience steps into the role of co-creator—revealing their elemental essence and joining the story as living characters within the artwork.

*HUEMUN Torchbearer was conceived in New York after a pilgrimage in which I played the flute along the full length of Broadway to The Battery, the southernmost tip of Manhattan where Lady Liberty comes into view.
Yet the work was first conceptualized nearly five years in Nicaragua, rooted in the moment my Eldest Maternal Aunt first taught me how to extinguish a candle with my fingertips.
Here, the symbols of Lady Liberty are re-made. The torch is beeswax, organic and alive. The guidebook is HUEMUNS.io across my chest, a digital portal of remembrance. The crown is my own platinum, spiked hair — self-expression as sovereignty.
A flame, when treated with reverence, should never be extinguished with a blow. Instead, I ignite the candle with my fingertips, and the infinite loop becomes a metaphor for the infinite flame of the soul. The footage is reordered so that what appears as extinguishing becomes ignition — a shift of sequence as remembrance: the flame begins within.
I embody the Torchbearer anew — Immigrant, Native, non-binary, American.

DIGITAL INSTALLATION
THE HUEMUN TIDE KEEPER, BISCAYNE BAY, MIAMI, FL 2025
(Video)
Mediums & Technical Notes
Digital video installation
Shot on Insta360, Biscayne Bay
Duration: 1 minute (looped)
Audio: flute and submerged vocals (original composition)
Display format: projection or screen, ambient sound environment
*The HUEMUN Tide Keeper was conceived in the waters of Biscayne Bay National Park, where I entered the ocean with my flute as both breath and bridge. What began as play became a listening: the sea answering every tone in kind.
The work remembers that love is a current, not a possession. Each note, each movement of the body beneath the surface, became a small act of communication — sound as offering, water as witness.
The recording includes a submerged vocal — a song I once sang as if from beneath the tide, remembering the ancient language of fluid devotion. It is an ode to the rising seas and to the intelligence that moves within them.
Here, water is not backdrop but collaborator. It holds, reshapes, and returns the sound, reminding us that paradise is not a place but a frequency of reciprocity.
Paradise was never lost — it was waiting for our attention to soften beneath the waves.
ENTERING THE WORLD OF HUEMUNS
THE HUEMUNS SONIC CODEX
An important portal into this world is the Sonic CODEX of the Land and Water
an immersive installation and digital threshold. Visitors walk through elemental corridors — fire, water, air, and earth — before entering a chamber of light-filled beaded curtains, where sound, sights and memory converge and ignite the spark.
LIVE MUSEUM INSTALLATION ARRIVING 2026
HUEMUNS of PARADISE is an evolving ecosystem of myth, sight, sound, and play—created to help our collective braided ancestry reweave relationship with the land, the waters, and ourselves.
We live in a time when many of us carry fragmented memory of where we come from, part grief, part genius. HUEMUNS does not seek to resolve that complexity. It offers a new form of remembrance: through story, through sound, through participation TO CUT THE FOG. AND TUNE IN.
