Seed Pod - Laser Cut & Powder Coated Aluminum with Solar Powered LED Lighting

The solar-powered sculpture resides near the STEM Center in the middle of the Xavier University campus in New Orleans. The sculpture is based on the design of a seed pod that can be dormant for generations but given the right conditions can come alive, bloom, and flourish. Seed Pod imitates design principles found in nature to create a sustainable work of art. It is a vibrant symbol that artistically demonstrates how solar power works by illuminating laser-cut sheets of metal designed to replicate a seed pod coming out of a dormant state & into a new form of life.
