Flowers in the Drought

My project was inspired by the drought that Texas is currently going through. Many plants are dying due to lack of water and high temperatures. It is also, in a way, an inspirational, symbolic piece. Flowers symbolizing life; the drought symbolizing the hardships that one goes through to survive. In my project, the natural environment surrounding the work is as meaningful as the piece itself.

I enjoyed putting together my project. I gathered materials such as green, pink, and orange plastic utensils. I also used a semi-ball of Styrofoam and paper plates as the base. I used a hot glue gun to stick all pieces together.
