Briefly describe your experience as an artist or involvement in public art projects:
have been creating art projects to be displayed in public for over half a decade. My earlier pieces were sculptures and installations that were shown regularly at UCLA for their "First Thursdays". One of my 1 notable pieces was a cactus sculpture equipped with a bubble machine and Christmas lights, creating an interactive and enjoyable experience for visitors of all ages. Another highlight was creating an 8-foot-tall welded sunflower sculpture for the 2024 Mayor’s Art Ball, demonstrating my ability to execute large-scale public art projects for the city.

Project Theme: Silly Sunflower
Proposed project location (include
district and address):
Community Demonstration Garden 14075 Frederick St.
Proposed project size (in square feet): 35
Project description:
The “Silly Sunflower" is a 7ft tall sunflower sculpture welded from metal with a stain glass “M” in the center, stain glass butterflies will be placed throughout, and with petals that serve as bowl bird feeders.
Provide a maintenance plan for your art project:
The maintenance approach for the "Sunflower Symphony" sculpture is intentionally minimalistic, aligning with my artistic philosophy that embraces the natural aging process of materials. I believe that there is inherent beauty in allowing the sculpture to develop a patina over time, as it reflects the unique history and 2 interaction with the environment.
To ensure the sculpture's longevity and safety, the following maintenance plan will be implemented:
1. **Community Engagement**: The community will be encouraged to report any concerns or damages to the sculpture, ensuring prompt attention to any issues that may arise.
2.. **Inspection**: An inspection will be conducted to assess the structural integrity of the sculpture and identify any potential safety concerns.
3. **Protective Coatings**: Although the intention is to allow the sculpture to age naturally, a protective coating may be applied during installation to slow down the corrosion process and protect against extreme weather conditions

The “Silly Sunflower" will inspire awe and joy to visitors.
Sculpture aims to demonstrate that art can be both accessible and interactive with petal bowl bird feeders.
