Project Location Palm Beach
Entry Description‘Blooms’ at Palm Beach is made up of 6 internally lit dandelion-like sculptures over 15’ tall. These metallic flowers are formed with 100% marine grade stainless steel and integrated luminaires meant to withstand hurricane conditions. The blossoms of the immense flora are mostly transparent, creating whimsy and contrast to the immense weight of the art form and amount of steel used in their construction. The Artist and Lighting Design team collaborated on how the lighting would emanate from the center of the bloom out to its hundreds of cylindrical florets and scatter along the pedestrian causeway. To accommodate the see-through nature of the artwork, a major effort to conceal the fixture from view was undertaken. Renderings and 3D studies were produced to develop the perfect mounting position, cable pathing, and custom reflector design to maximize the impact of the lighting within the artwork while avoiding glare or visual interruptions at the centrepiece of the sculpture. Motion sensors were included, creating a layer of interactivity between the sculptures and the pedestrians passing by. When motion is detected, a lighting effect is produced as if the bloom is caught in a breeze
