Blossom

Blossom is a suspended sculpture that captures the intricate layering and transformative power of Washington DC’s springtime cherry blossoms. One hundred sixty-seven individual aluminum hexagonal frames are fastened together to form an undulating canopy.

The hexagonal volume was chosen as a nod to the beautiful yet precise geometric formation of flowering cherry blossoms. The aluminum pieces are painted with a multi-coat reflective champagne gold color to soften the design, allow it to glisten slightly in the sun, and reflect ambient light at night.

The sculpture’s organic form, texture, and color create a distinct building identity that animates the entry space, resulting in a new focal element for the building and the district.
