Dolphin Joy

Dolphin Joy
Submitted for the PG101 Puzzle Box Cover theme
Last spring Lauritzen Gardens in Omaha hosted an amazing, unusual, and beautiful educational sculpture exhibit. Art was installed throughout the indoor areas, placed among the plants already growing in the conservatory and atrium. All the art was made entirely from reclaimed plastic; the overall theme was water and the life in it (both plant and animal). This dolphin is the sculpture, the background is fronds on a living palm tree; for some reason, in the photo the blue-green fronds had a light aqua cast, so I re-colored the brown area on the trunk and filled in the white "sky" with aqua, too. Also scattered throughout the buildings were signs and posters containing facts about the huge ecological problem plastics have become. For a few weeks, the center was open in the evenings so the art could be enjoyed under special lighting.
