The Final Piece

 

I went to the Desert Botanical Garden on Friday to see the last piece of the 3-part art exhibit called "Wind, Water, Earth".  I posted photos of "Water" on March 2nd and photos of "Wind" on January 23rd.  Now it is time for "Earth".  The artists, Natasha Lisitsa & Daniel Schultz were "inspired by the colorful layers seen in canyons and rock formations throughout Arizona".  


The sculpture is a formation of 24 layers of wooden "strata" and more than 10,000 fresh cut flowers.

































It really is very beautiful and as you might imagine, it smelled wonderful.  The minute I entered the room, the wonderful, floral aroma enveloped me.  

I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today.  I'm making a visit to a different botanical garden.

    Interesting! It looks like the flowers are dry, or fresh but drying out in the sculpture? Maybe that's a comment on the dry earth of the Southwest!

    That's maybe one time when masks could be helpful, especially for those of us who are scent sensitive. :-)

    The grand finale! 10,000 flowers raises questions though...

    Oh my gosh it's fabulous Sharon, wish I had a few vases full of those gorgeous roses about the house. I can absolutely imagine the perfume as you walk in the gallery 🌹

    It looks wonderful, but I can't help myself from asking how much 10,000 freshly cut flowers cost and how long they will last.
