The artwork is a towering sculpture of a puppy, fabricated using a steel armature and a vibrant array of live flowering plants. It is a striking fusion of nature and industrial form, standing against an urban backdrop that highlights its contrasting textures and colors. The flowers, carefully arranged in a multitude of colors including purples, yellows, and whites, give the sculpture a dynamic and ever-changing appearance as the plants bloom and grow over time. This monumental piece reflects themes of innocence and joy while also engaging in a dialogue with the environment and its surroundings.
