desymbol: Polish Artist Turns A Local Tram Stop Into A Floral Museum

We all know how plain and boring the concrete jungle can be, with only stoplights and flashy business logos bringing any sort of color to the dull greys of the streets. And you’re lucky if your end of the city has a park or two, as not everyone is as lucky. Drawn by a need to bring nature back to the concrete of the city, one Polish artist decided to launch a colorful project that would give a splash of color to an otherwise plain background.

Dominika Cebula is an artist from Łódź, Poland. Instead of hanging paper brochures or advertisements, the young artist decided to switch it up and decorate a local tram stop with a variety of dried flowers. From roses to ferns, Cebula took hundreds of plants dried the and encased them in blocks of glass that were then put up at a tram stop at Dabrowskiego Square in Łódź.

This colorful project is titled “Nostalgia” and draws inspiration from a local flower market at the same square where the installation is exhibited. The flowers used for the project ar preserved with epoxy resin to ensure their longevity so other people could enjoy them longer.

The artist started this project back in summer, when all the flowers were at peak blooming season. At the beginning of July, Cebula gathered most of the flowers to prepare them for the project, which was finalized at the end of August.
