On May 7, 1983, the installation of Surrounded Islands was completed in Biscayne Bay. For two weeks, the 'Rounded Islands', spanning 11.3 kilometers (7 miles), were seen, approached and enjoyed by the public, from the causeways, land, water and air. The pale pink color of the shiny fabric was in harmony with the tropical vegetation of the uninhabited green islands, the light of the Miami sky and the colors of the shallow waters of Biscayne Bay. 'Surrounded Islands' was a work of art that highlighted the different elements and ways in which the people of Miami live, between land and water.
