Bloom

‘Bloom’ resembles a circular roof supported by interlocked PVC pipes blooming from the center in the form of pixelated hearts. From below, it becomes a buoyant cloudscape where the overhead pipes create vaulted portals. The structure channels the brightness of Times Square and showers down rays of light, serving as a reminder of the fleeting moments of happiness that persevere even in the shroud of darkness. The centers of each cluster create the supportive cores, and the strength of the structure comes from each small piece acting as a vital connector, revealing how important grounding forces and networks are for us to find lightness.
