Hanami (Flower Viewing)

Amongst 100 cherry blossom trees, in a park dedicated to congressman Robert Matsui, a torn and charred trunk alludes to the struggles of the Japanese American during WWII internment. From broken stitched pieces (like Kintsugi – the art of repairing broken pottery) arises shiny stainless steel and pink glass blossoms, representing the resiliency of this community to rebuild their lives.The top spins in the wind and the 400 glass "petals" are mobiles. Life’s beauty and fragility is expressed in the swaying blossoms adding color year-round as well as a beacon at night.
