The creation and transformation of a flower inspired this sculpture for the R.A. Bloch Cancer Survivors Park in Kansas City, MO. From the green stem, to the bud, to the brilliance of a bloom, the flower is a metaphor for hope and transformation. To this end, "Transformed Flower" seeks to be a positive inspiration for transformation in the hearts of all who experience the park. The color and form of the sculpture transform from the bottom to the top, from translucent to brilliant red and from a circle to an 8-pointed star. Like flowers and plants twisting towards the sun, the sculpture itself makes a 45 degree turn from the bottom to the top, twisting and opening towards its own source of hope and inspiration allowing a greater play of light and shadow on and within the piece.
