‘Bloom’ is a modern interpretation of the lotus, our national flower. The lotus represents knowledge, growth and transformation. ‘Bloom’ is a kinetic sculpture; the flower petals move during the course of the day – mimicking an actual lotus. The sculpture mechanically closes by night and blooms again by morning. This project can be a potential collaboration with engineering students to create the base or ‘the lotus pad comprising of solar cells, in order to power the sculpture with solar energy.
