Set to be publicly unveiled on February 9, Habitat Workshop’s Bloom will celebrate the enduring strength of collective love. Bloom will be fabricated by IDEKO and on view in Duffy Square from February 9 to March 9.
“We are honored for the opportunity to create a project that recognizes human fragility and strength, especially after a few years of struggle to care for ourselves and others in this overwhelming and disruptive world. Multiple sections of linked pipes form a buoyant cloud with a heart-shaped core blooming from each section’s center, and the aggregate of each interlocking connector provides strength for the overall structure. Bloom is an offering of hope and a reminder that we must find vivacity amid the darkness.”
