Metamorpho-Nest

All living things are born or sprouted, grow, die, and are reborn. We live through different stages within our lives with transformations and awakenings - like the caterpillar that becomes a butterfly or moth or the plant that goes dormant and comes back for many seasons throughout many years. This sculpture of nests symbolizes the cradle for hatching/ birth; the reincarnation and metamorphosis of invasive species (Japanese bush honeysuckle) to become something useful (habitat); and growth through a diverse selection of native plants to host and feed butterfly and moth species, provide shade, reduce erosion, promote clean air and support wildlife. As a natural, living sculpture, this place and it’s elements within will go through metamorphosis and grow with the park while creating habitat for the species to also go through metamorphosis. Look out for caterpillars!
